The bail request of social media personality Murat Övüç, who was arrested on charges of “inciting the public to hatred and hostility” due to a video he shared on social media, was rejected by the court. Övüç, who has been in prison for about a month, was evaluated on January 19, and it was decided that he would remain in custody. His lawyer requested his release, arguing that his client was known for entertainment programs aimed at women, that the video was intended to be humorous, and that there were no elements of a crime. The court rejected the request, citing the current evidence and the nature of the crime.
