U.S. concerned about judicial harassment after Turkish pop star's arrest
WASHINGTON/ISTANBUL (Reuters) -The United States said it remained concerned about Turkey's censorship of free speech, and women's groups protested in Istanbul on Saturday, after the arrest of pop star Gulsen over a past quip she made about religious schools.
The singer-songwriter was jailed on Thursday pending trial on a charge of incitement to hatred after a video of her on-stage remark in April was broadcast by a pro-government media outlet.
While several state ministers condemned Gulsen's words, her arrest drew a fierce response from critics who see President Tayyip Erdogan's government as bent on punishing those who oppose its conservative views.
A U.S. State Department spokesperson said it remains concerned about widespread efforts in Turkey to restrict expression via censorship and judicial harassment following Gulsen's detention.
