According to the law, in order for the offence of defamation to occur, a concrete act or fact must be attributed to the victim or the act of swearing must be committed. This concrete act or fact must be in a way that may offend the honour and dignity of the victim. The legal value protected by the offence of defamation is the honour, dignity, honour, honour and reputation in society.
Article 125/1 of the TPC regulates insult against the face. Accordingly, attributing a fact or swearing against a person are optional acts that constitute the offence of insult. The act or fact imputed must be in a way that may offend the honour and dignity of the person. However, it is not required to offend the honour and deprivation of the person. The existence of words or actions that may offend is sufficient. This situation will be evaluated by the judge. The criteria to be taken as basis in the evaluation are the environment, public opinion, conditions, local customs and traditions, and the status of the victim.
