Turkey detains nurse over hair-braiding video in support of SDF
Authorities say the nurse’s social media post amounted to terror propaganda, while critics argue that her symbolic protest falls under freedom of expression as tensions over Syria spill into Turkey’s fragile peace process.
Following videos shared by DEM Party officials, a nurse in Kocaeli joined the trend by braiding her hair.
DEM Party Kocaeli MP Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu announced that a nurse, against whom an investigation was launched for participating in a hair braiding campaign on social media, has been taken into custody.
A healthcare worker in Kocaeli supported a provocative trend on social media, using the cutting of a woman's hair—a member of the YPG terrorist organization—as a pretext. Following the outrage caused by the images, the Kocaeli Provincial Health Directorate immediately launched an investigation against the employee on grounds of "terrorist propaganda" and "ethical violation." - Watch video
