The application made by the Media and Legal Studies Center on the stay of execution of the ban against Theater Jiyana Nu’s Kurdish play, Beru, was denied by Istanbul 10th Administrative Court. The court based the denial on the theater group having connections with the Mesopotamia Cultural Center and that the Media and Legal Studies Center had connections with the PKK. The court claimed that the administration’s will may be extended due to the protection of “national security and public order.”
The play, “Beru” to be staged by Teatra Jiyana Nu on Gaziosmanpaşa theater stage within Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) City Theaters’ “Support Project for Theaters” had been banned by the district governorate a few hours before the staging, due to risks against “public safety.”
