Summary
Peri Pamir, a Turkish woman, was convicted twice for sharing a Guardian article about a British woman killed fighting with Kurdish forces in Syria.
Pamir received a suspended sentence and five years of probation for “spreading propaganda for a terrorist organization.”
Despite her appeal, she received the same sentence in a retrial.
We’re probably going to be seeing articles like this coming from the US in a few years. Probably.

Man, Turkey really is full of terrorists…
Don’t like the government? Terrorist. Share an article? Terrorist. Eating the wrong food? Probably terrorist as well.
What a shit show.
Turkey is effectively a dictatorship, but since it’s a member of NATO, it’s OK

Edit: not sure why the downvotes, this is how many Turkish people think (by their own or due to propaganda). That’s why they have laws like this
The downvotes are most likely because people think you agree with the guy you quote.
