flag Hamit Coskun, who burned a Quran outside the Turkish Consulate in London, may seek U.S. asylum if his UK appeal fails.

flag Hamit Coskun, a 51-year-old man of Armenian-Kurdish descent who burned a Quran outside the Turkish Consulate in London in 2025, may be granted U.S. asylum if his appeal against a UK conviction fails. flag Originally convicted for a religiously aggravated public order offense, his case was overturned by a Crown Court citing free expression, though the Crown Prosecution Service is appealing. flag Coskun, who claims persecution in Turkey for opposing Islamist governance, says he fears for his safety and intends to move to the U.S., where he believes free speech is better protected. flag The Trump administration is reportedly considering involvement, reflecting broader concerns about free expression in the UK and Europe.
