A Turkish court has fined 20 people for using the letters Q and W on placards at a Kurdish new year celebration, under a law that bans use of characters not in the Turkish alphabet, rights campaigners said.


Your thoughts?

WTF?!?! This is simply outrageous news. I haven't seen this anywhere else, but I am definitely sure those people weren't fine for using the letters Q and W, they were fined for the Kurdish placards.

And what in the hell does "More than 30,000 people have been killed, most of them Kurds" mean? Of course they'd die, being terrorists! And just for the record, more Turks have been killed than Kurds.

This got me so angry I'm having trouble breathing..!
