Two Trials for Singing Kurdish Folk Songs

Two Trials for Singing Kurdish Folk Songs

Raziye Kızıl (Gazin), faces two trials because of Kurdish folk songs. The Kurdish lyrics in the police records were supposedly translated incorrectly. The court did not accept the related objection and sentenced her to one year in jail. The second trial carries a five-year prison threat.
