Ankara Governorate banned the LGBTI Short Movie selections to be screened by Ankara Bar Association’s Human Rights Center.
The governorate claimed that the screening will “publicly incite one part of the society, with different qualities in terms of social class, race, religion, sect or region; to resentment and hostility towards the other part” and that it will “incite provocation.” The ban’s reason was shown as “the possibility of reactions by some groups due to social sensitivities.” The lawyers reacted against the ban; watching the short movies on their cell phones in front of the Bar Association building.
