Melisa Sozen questioned in Turkey over role in French TV thriller

Turkish actress Melissa Suzin was interrogated by the police in Istanbul on suspicion of “strengthening terrorist propaganda” in a French television spy series in 2017, according to reports.

Suzin, 39, played a double agent who fights Islamic militants in the successful show The Bureau.

In recent months, she has been targeted on social media because her ESRIN is wearing a unified uniform that is similar to that of Syria’s Kurdish Kurdish militias, which have been appointed as a terrorist group in Turkey.

It is understood that Sozen has made a police statement when she returns to Türkiye from abroad, but she was not detained, according to the Business Administration News Agency.

It was found that the police told that they were not aware that the uniform used in the chain carries a similarity with a terrorist group and that the office did not appear in Türkiye in any case.

When she was criticized on social media last August, Suzen issued a statement on Instagram stating that there was no praise for any “terrorist organization” in the program, and that if there was something that happened in the seven years since then it was broadcast.

“I do not accept the wrong accusations against me,” she confirmed. This series was not a hidden project, but a very common French crime series.

Suzin said she had been behaving for 25 years and has already developed thick skin before she was bullying online.

However, she said it was almost impossible for young people who have little experience to deal with such an abuse.

Sozen’s career started on Turkish television and cinema, but she won an international praise of the Winter Sleep movie, which won the Palme d’or at the Cannes Festival in 2014.
