The prosecutor’s office has launched investigations into incitement to hatred and hostility and disparagement in a post on social media, the government-affiliated news agency Demirören Haber Ajansi (DHA) reported on Friday.
Screenshots from other media of the alleged post showed a group of people gathered around a table clinking glasses with anise schnapps. The post was captioned: “Special Kadir night. May my God accept it.”
The so-called Kadir night has a special meaning in Islam. It is believed that verses from the Koran were first revealed to the Prophet Mohammed that night.
According to the DHA, those affected should also be airline employees. Low-cost airline Pegasus Airlines released a statement on Thursday that it was taking action on a post that “offended religious feelings.”
