Before an event to be organised by the Free Women's Movement (Tevgera Jinên Azad-TJA) in Amed (tr: Diyarbakır) at the Ten-Eyed Bridge in Sur district, police officers from Diyarbakır Security Directorate called the women and informed them that the slogan ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’ (Woman, Life, Freedom) was banned on the grounds that it was ‘propaganda of an organisation’, namely the PKK.

While no official document was presented on the issue other than a verbal report, the official website of the governorate did not include a decision on the ban. 

During the women's protests, police officers tried to prevent the chants of ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’, claiming that it was ‘organisational terminology’.
