The music group Manifest continues to stay in the spotlight with their concerts and songs. However, the group has recently come to the fore with a different development. The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation ex officio against the Manifest Group, which performed on the evening of September 6, 2025, in Beşiktaş, on charges of "indecent acts" and "exhibitionism." It was noted that behaviors contrary to the common moral, decency, and modesty understanding of society were exhibited during the concert, and it was evaluated that these actions could have negative effects, especially on children and young people.
It was emphasized that the actions in question are damaging to the feelings of decency and chastity, which hold an important place in the culture of society.
"I HAVE ALSO BEEN SUBJECTED TO THE SAME PRESSURES"
Hadise, who has often been the target of criticism in the past due to her stage shows and outfits, made a supportive statement for the Manifest Group. The famous artist shared the following statements on her social media account: Hadise said, "I was subjected to the same pressures on my Harbiye stage, and no one spoke up that day. But look, the more we stay silent, the worse it gets. Even if the voice of evil is very loud, do not remain silent, raise your voice. I will always stand by women, even if everyone else is silent. This is a problem for all of us, a responsibility for all of us. Young women are trying to exist on stage with their own free will; facing pressures and lynchings are moments when freedom is tested and gasping for breath. But remember: A woman's stage, body, voice, and stance are free. It will always remain so."
