Kurdish singer Azad Bedran stands trial in Turkey because of the video clip of his song “Partizan”, the songs he performed at concerts and his social media posts. He is accused of “spreading propaganda for an illegal organization”.

During a hearing held at the 8th Heavy Penal Court of Diyarbakır, he was sentenced to 3 years and 9 months in prison.

Bedran’s lawyer Haldi Mızrak said that the Kurdish singer has been given prison sentence despite the Court of Appeals ruling dismissing the action.
