Turkish actress Melisa Sozen questioned the police in Istanbul on suspicion of being in the “Promotion of Terrorist Propaganda” in the 2017 “Promotion of Terrorist Propaganda” in 2017, they say.
Sozen, 39, played a double agent who fought against Islamist militants in the hit show The Bureau.
In recent months, she has been targeted at social media because her character Esrin has wore a uniform that is considered a similar one in the Syrian Kurdish militia YPG, which was labeled in Turkey as a terrorist group.
Sozen is believed to have made a statement to the police about her return to Turkey from abroad, but was not detained, according to the DHA news agency.
It is reported that she told the police that she was not aware that the costume was used in a series like a terrorist group and that the office was not shown in Turkey anyway.
When she came under a fire on social networks last August, Sozen posted a statement on Instagram, stating that there was no praise for any “terrorist organization” in the program and that this would have appeared in seven years since then the first aired.
“I don’t accept false accusations thrown at me,” she emphasized. The series was not a hidden project, but a very popular French criminal series.
Sozen said she had starred for 25 years and that she had already developed thick skin before she was undergoing harassment on the Internet.
However, she said it was almost impossible for younger people with little life experience to deal with such abuse.
Sosen’s career began in Turkey’s TV and film, but she won an international recognition for the movie Winter Sleep, which in 2014 won the Palme D’Or in Cannes.
