Yasemin Babat Kayan was detained after protesting the sexual abuse experienced by a five-year-old in Büyükçekmece district of Istanbul with a sit-in protest at Taksim Square.
Kayan made an individual sit-in protest with the demand for an end to sexual abuse and rape against children and for authorities to take necessary measures on the matter. “I no longer want to worry about my child. I don’t want to worry about children. I don’t want to wake up to the same news every day. If it is a crime to stand against child abuse as a mother, I came here, facing up to it,” Kayan said. Police detained Kayan, claiming that there is a protest ban at Taksim issued by the Governorate.
