Economic recession and democratic collapse have taken away human dignity, says novelist and political scientist Elif Shafak

Fatih is known as one of the most conservative districts of Istanbul. Last week some people in the area saw a note attached to the door of a flat: “Beware! There’s cyanide inside. Call the police. Don’t enter.” Whoever wrote the note had clearly wanted to protect the neighbours from a toxic substance. When the police arrived they found four bodies – two men, two women, aged between 48 and 60.

Democracy never lasts long in an Islamic state. Freedom is an alien concept.

I disagree
