Turkish police detained at least four cartoonists on Monday accused of drawing and distributing a cartoon that authorities and protesters say is a depiction of the Prophet Mohammed and Moses.

A Turkish court on Wednesday ordered the arrest of cartoonist Dogan Pehlevan and three of his colleagues on charges of inciting "public hatred" after a drawing in their satirical magazine stirred

The cartoon, published in LeMan magazine, was denounced by government officials who said it represented the Prophet Muhammad.
