Turkish police detained YouTuber Bogac Soydemir and rapper Enes Akgunduz over a joke about wine in a livestream, sparking debate over free speech and religious sensitivity.

Turkish authorities have detained YouTuber Bogac Soydemir and rapper Enes Akgunduz pending trial after a joke referencing a hadith about wine being the "mother of all evil" during their online show "Soguk Savas." Prosecutors claimed the remark incited religious hatred, though both men apologized, said they didn’t intend to offend, and removed the video. They stated the comment was a viewer submission mistaken for wordplay. The case underscores ongoing tensions in Turkey over free expression and religious sensitivity, following similar actions against satirical artists. A trial has not yet begun.
