13 Women’s Day march – Abroad – News arrested for insulting the president in Turkey

Thousands of people took part in a march in the center of Istanbul on Monday, condemning the violence against women. Last year, more than 400 women were murdered in Turkey.

Compared to previous years, the police did not disrupt the Women’s Day march this year and it went smoothly.

But police later checked the footage and arrested 13 people on Wednesday, including a minor, the Istanbul governor’s office said, saying the detainees had chanted slogans but did not reveal which ones.

The newspaper “Cumhuriyet” and other media report that the detainees were taken to questioning in connection with slogans that had insulted the president.

Insulting the President in Turkey is a crime punishable by up to four years in prison.

Thousands of people, including journalists, politicians, actors and students, have been accused of insulting the president in Turkey.

The Women’s Day march has been so detained, despite Erdogan’s promises last week to implement human rights reforms.
