Restrictions continue against the 2021 Pride March events. The march organised by LGBTQ activists in Izmirwas prevented by the police. Events organised in Heybeliada were prevented through police threats against event venues despite the lack of any ban decree against events. Şişli District Governorate in Istanbul announced a 30-day protest and demonstration ban across the district, banning the picnic organised in Maçka Park as well. The police intervened against those picnicking at the park and many were detained. Activists carrying flags, headbands and bags with rainbow patterns and colours were not allowed inside demonstration areas in many provinces.
