Threats against the life of journalist Makarios Droushiotis!

Postby halil » Fri May 07, 2010 7:15 pm

POLICE yesterday seized two computers from the office of a blog administrator, who was questioned after a complaint that his popular local blog published content with threats against the life of a well-known journalist.
The blog administrator is also a lawyer.
According to Makarios Droushiotis, a regular columnist for Politis, who filed the complaint, the blog christofias-watch
http://christofias-watch.blogspot.com/
contains incitement to murder.
The contentious comment posted on the blog reads: “Only in Cyprus is it possible for someone like Makarios [Droushiotis] to live. Only in Cyprus is it possible for collaborators, whores and brownnosers of the conqueror (and the nobody in question is all of the above) to peddle their garbage.
“The traitors deserve fire and axe. Throw the collaborators into a pit and cover them with lime.”
There are more unflattering remarks about Droushiotis, who is lambasted for his coverage of a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul in late February.
During the meeting with Greek Cypriot journalists, Erdogan explained his policy on the Cyprus issue. Back in Cyprus, the reporters were then accused of promoting Turkish propaganda.
Droushiotis’ complaint to police was filed in early March. Having identified the website administrator, the police’s Cyber Crimes Unit secured a court order to search the administrator’s premises yesterday.
The alleged administrator, a well-known lawyer, denies any involvement. According to the police spokesman, the person refused to answer any questions on the advice of his own lawyer.
Christos Clerides, who is representing the alleged administrator, yesterday described the case as “politically-motivated persecution.” Clerides has demanded that police immediately return to his client the two computers since they contain private and confidential data.
Police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos said investigators would be careful not to access or tamper with any data that was irrelevant to the case. They would then decide whether the case should be prosecuted.
Incitement to murder is a criminal offence.
Droushiotis says he does not know the author of the contentious remark, but holds the blog’s administrator responsible for any content posted on the website.

So remind us again of the Turkish penal code that gives the death penalty for insulting anythig Turkish.

Pot and black.

Incidentally I have to agree with the comments made on that blog, that piece of crap deserves all he gets.

Fraternising with the enemy should be treated as treason.

Cyprus is too precious for misguided individuals who think they may be viewed as some "super-intellectuals" by destroying the weakest (Cyprus) whilst sucking up to the strongest (Turkey) -- even if they have been promised much!

The blog quote reads to me like some general rant (would you have tried Dante for inciting murder for all the hell/fire/brimstone stuff he condemned as punishment on various individuals?). It's obvious we have a cultural clash here with free-speaking westerners (Cypriots/blogger) being punished by Turk-influenced stranglers!

Article 301 is Expanding into the EU along with the frigging Turks! :roll:

What a misleading topic title!!

Halil the title should have been:
A forum administrator was arrested because someone in the forum said Makarios Droushiotis should not be allowed to live.

Do you think the Admin of this forum might be at risk? :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: Shouldn't the police seize the computers of Google (the owner of blogspot.com) since that is where those comments are hosted? What excuse can they have to seize his personal computers? Since he is a lawyer I suggest he sues them.
