# Four employees of a satirical magazine in Turkey have been arrested for publishing a cartoon that appears to show the Prophet Muhammad. The sacred religious figure’s depiction is forbidden in Islam. Interior minister Ali Yerlikaya condemned LeMan magazine’s drawing as shameless, announcing that its editor-in-chief, graphic designer, institutional director and cartoonist had been detained. The magazine denied in a post on social media its cartoon was a caricature of Muhammad, saying the work does not refer to the prophet in any way.
