This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tema, who has more than 870,000 subscribers on the video-sharing platform, blasted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ruling party over its alleged Islamist leanings.
Turkish authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of Albanian-Turkish YouTuber and researcher Diamond Tema, known for his videos on religion and philosophy, over a debate on Islam he took part in.
Tema, who has more than 870,000 subscribers on the video-sharing platform, blasted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ruling Justice and Development Party over its alleged Islamist leanings.
In a video titled “He who tells the truth will be sued in nine villages”, made public on Monday, Tema, who hails from an Albanian family that settled in Turkey when he was a child, said that he would not be “defeated” by those who targeted him.
Tema received the threats of possible arrest after taking part in a discussion about Sharia law together with another Turkish social media phenomenon, Asrin Tok, on the YouTube channel Yer6 Film.
Thousands of Turkish X users declared their support for Tema, and the hashtag “#DiamondTemaYalnızDeğildir” (#DiamondTemaIsNotAlone), which they started on Sunday evening, rose to the top of the list of trending topics in Turkey.
