A Turkish court ruled for the imprisonment of Kurdish film director Gıyasettin Şehir, who was awarded the best director prize at Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, according to a report by pro-Kurdish Fırat news agency (ANF) on Saturday.
Film director Şehir was reportedly taken into custody by police following a raid on his flat in Diyarbakır province on September 25. He was referred to court after procedures at police directorate with a demand by prosecutor’s office for his arrest on alleged charges of “membership to an illegal organization.” After appearing in the court, the film director Şehir was remanded in custody and sent to Diyarbakır D-Type Prison.
Şehir was awarded the Best Director prize at 48th International Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival in 2011 for his film “Meş” (March). Şehir is also a founding member of the Dicle-Fırat Kültür Sanat Merkezi (Tigris-Euphrates Culture and Arts Center) where he lectured hundreds of students on cinema, theater, and modern dance for years.
