Taking into custody

Rojin Akın was taken into custody on the grounds of her interviews, photographs that she has taken in the Rojava region in 2015 and her social media posts, when she came to Ankara to give her deposition before the prosecutor in the scope of the investigation launched in Diyarbakır against her. Prosecutors asked that she be jailed pending trial, the court instead ordered her released on probation (29 March 2017).
