Turkey

Medet Onlu, a Turkish citizen of Chechen origin who assisted Chechen refugees, was shot dead in Ankara yesterday. Onlu had recently told a TV interviewer that the two Chechen brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings had been chosen as victims. An official from the ruling political party called for the “annihilation of atheists.” A renowned linguist and writer was sentenced to 13 months in prison for alleged blasphemy in a blog post.
