Pınar Aydınlar appeared for the first hearing at the Tunceli 2nd High Criminal Court in a case filed against her on charges of "making terrorist organization propaganda," based on songs she performed at the 21st Munzur Culture and Nature Festival held in Tunceli in 2023 and two social media posts.
According to the report by the Mezopotamya Agency, Aydınlar and her lawyer attended the hearing via SEGBİS from the Istanbul 26th High Criminal Court courtroom.
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS CAUSED TROUBLE

The court decided to sentence singer Aydınlar to 1 year, 6 months, and 22 days in prison for the charge of "making terrorist organization propaganda."
