Penguen () was a satirical magazine published in Turkey and distributed also to Northern Cyprus.
Penguen was founded in 2002 by Metin ÃÂstündaÃÂ, Selçuk Erdem, Erdil Yaà ÂaroÃÂlu and Bahadñr Baruter. The first issue was published in September 2002.
In March 2005 Penguen was sued by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÃÂan for several caricatures of him; the magazine was acquitted. In 2011 contributor Bahadñr Baruter "faced a one-year prison sentence for a cartoon that [had] the words âÂÂThere is no God, religion is a lieâ on the wall of a mosque."
In May 2012 its offices were the subject of an arson attack. In 2015, two journalists from the magazine were given 11-month prison sentences for comments about Prime Minister ErdoÃÂan. In April 2017 it was announced that Penguen would be closed after four issues. In a statement, journalists cited the decline in people reading magazines, and the lack of "free space" for journalists in Turkey. The last issue of the magazine was published in May 2017.
