The appeal filed by singer Gulsen’s lawyers in the Criminal Court of First Instance was accepted Turkey, resulting in his release from prison, as reported by CNN Turk. The singer was placed under house arrest.

Gulsen was arrested for what she said during a concert she gave on April 30, addressing her musicians, as it was considered to incite hatred. “He studied at Imam Hatip, that’s where his perversion comes from,” he said, which was considered an insult to the school of imams. According to what her lawyer stated in the appeal, the arrest decision was unfair and illegal.
