Melisa Sozen questioned in Türkiye on the role in the French television thriller

Turkish actress Melisa Sozen has been interrogated by the police in Istanbul under suspicion of “promoting terrorist propaganda” in a series of French television spies in 2017, according to reports.

Sozen, 39, played a double agent fighting Islamist militants in the successful The Bureau program.

In recent months, it has been aimed at social networks because its character ESRIN carried a uniform considered similar to that of the Kurdish militia based in Syria, designated as a terrorist group in Turkey.

It is understood that Sozen gave the police about his return to Türkiye from abroad, but was not arrested, according to the DHA news agency.

It is informed that he told the Police that he did not know that the costume used in the series had a resemblance to a terrorist group and that the office was not shown in Turkey anyway.

When she was criticized on social networks last August, Sozen issued a statement on Instagram indicating that there had been no praise for any “terrorist organization” in the program, and that if there had been emerged in the seven years elapsed since it was the First transmission.

“I do not accept the false accusations that throw me,” he emphasized. The series was not a hidden project, but a series of very popular French crimes.

Sozen said he had been acting for 25 years and that he had already developed a thick skin before being subject to internet intimidation.

However, he said it was almost impossible for younger people with little experience in life to face such abuse.

Sozen’s career began on television and Turkish cinema, but won international praise for the movie Winter Sleep, which won the palm d’Or in Cannes in 2014.
