"MY PRIVATE PARTS WERE NOT EXPOSED"
In her interrogation at the judgeship, Melisa Yaren Aydınalp stated the following:
"I am the person in the images you asked about. I was walking to exercise my right to protest with a sign in my hand that read 'Freedom for breasts'. Meanwhile, my friend was filming me. None of my private parts were exposed. I did not engage in any shameless act. Every time I walk like this or even in my normal clothes, I am taken into custody.
This situation is also disrupting my education. I request that the measure requested against me be rejected. I am constantly experiencing the same thing."
