Summary
Peri Pamir, a Turkish woman, was convicted twice for sharing a Guardian article about a British woman killed fighting with Kurdish forces in Syria.
Pamir received a suspended sentence and five years of probation for “spreading propaganda for a terrorist organization.”
Despite her appeal, she received the same sentence in a retrial.
Your use of the verb “learned” and the adjective “well-educated” suggested that you bought into these views wholesale and uncritically and are now sharing them as some sort of epiphany. Hence the downvotes.
