A BANNER OF A WOMAN WITH BRAIDED HAIR WAS HUNG ON THE MUNICIPALITY BUILDING

While the echoes of the "braiding hair" movement initiated by DEM Party members in response to the cutting of a woman's hair, who is a member of the terrorist organization YPG in Syria, continue, the banner also featured women with braided hair.

POLICE REMOVED THE BANNER

Following the hanging of the banner that was propagating terrorist organization propaganda, police teams took action. The police climbed onto the roof of the building and removed the banner. The municipal staff who hung the banner were also detained and taken to the police station.
