Diez meses de cárcel para Omar Khayyam

Del diario turco Hürriyet Daily News:
World-renowned Turkish pianist Fazıl Say, who was sentenced to 10 months in prison for blasphemy in April, was again sentenced to 10 months by an Istanbul court today in a retrial. Say had received a suspended 10-month prison sentence on charges of “insulting religious beliefs held by a section of the society,” for re-tweeting several lines, which are attributed to poet Omar Khayyam… Say was convicted after tweeting the following lines: “You say its rivers will flow in wine. Is the Garden of Eden a drinking house? You say you will give two houris to each Muslim. Is the Garden of Eden a whorehouse?”

    1. Estuve en Samarcanda y claro, llevaba en la mochila a Omar Khayyam. Samarcanda es una ciudad embrujada por su nombre.
