Hande Atay Alam and Isil Sariyuce, CNN, Turkish pop star jailed after a joke about religious schools in Turkey

“Turkish pop star Gulsen Colakoglu has been jailed pending trial on charges of “inciting or insulting the public to hatred and enmity” after she made a joke about religious schools in Turkey, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency.

“The charges appear to be related to a video circulating on social media from a Gulsen concert in April, when she joked about one of the musicians.”
