In the week following the attempted coup in Turkey, which killed about 290 people, the municipality announced it intended to set up a cemetery specifically for those involved — people that officials have branded as traitors undeserving of a proper burial. About 24 coup plotters are believed to have been killed that night.

    Authorities would "reserve a spot and call it a traitors' cemetery. Passers-by will curse them," Istanbul Mayor Kadir Topbas said in remarks carried by the Dogan News Agency. "May every passer-by curse them and let them not rest in their tombs."

Holy shit, people, three shares and nobody noticed I didn't link the article?
