Jahrein will probably be released soon. But he deserves to be in prison more than many imprisoned. A Twitter user listed some fragments of his vile rhetoric against political opponents, minorities, and women, among others. I have translated the stuff. You can download it here: sins of Jahrein [update- the file seems to be hard to read, you can look at the user’s profile and translate yourself;)]
Ahmet Sonuç, known as “Jahrein” on social media platforms, was arrested in Antalya, Turkey for the following reasons:
- Obscenity charges: Jahrein was detained and subsequently arrested for engaging in conversations and making remarks that were deemed obscene and not in accordance with general morality and societal values[1][2][4].
Inappropriate content in live streams: He was accused of making obscene comments during a Twitch live stream, particularly regarding his wife’s sister[1][4].
Participation in controversial chat rooms: Jahrein was allegedly involved in conversations in a chat room titled “Incel sohbet odası” (Incel chat room), where the content was considered inappropriate[1][5].
Lewd remarks towards minors: According to a statement from the Presidential Communications Directorate Digital Media Coordinator, Jahrein allegedly made lewd remarks against girls[5].
Legal basis: The arrest was made under Article 226 of the Turkish Penal Code, which deals with obscenity[4].
Joint arrest: Jahrein was arrested along with another individual known as Ertürk Kösen (alias “Pungent 666”), who was also accused of similar offenses[2][5].
The arrest took place on September 12, 2024, and Jahrein was subsequently taken to court and ordered to be held in custody[2][7]. The case has drawn significant attention due to Jahrein’s popularity as a social media influencer with a large following on platforms like Twitch[6].
