Manifestival concludes in the shadow of manager's arrest

Manifestival, held in Izmir, has concluded with the participation of thousands of people following the events marked by the arrest of the group's founder and manager, Tolga Akış.

Aftermath of the Festival

The three-day Manifestival organized by the group Manifest came to an end at Izmir Kültürpark with the participation of thousands of fans.

This major music gathering took place under the shadow of the arrest decision regarding the group's founder and manager, Tolga Akış.

Legal Process and Defense

While Tolga Akış was arrested on charges of mediating the publication of obscene content, his lawyer Kaya Pulat reacted to the decision.

Kaya Pulat argued that the grounds cited for the arrest were identical to a previously concluded case and that Akış was targeted simply because he is the producer.

Aloof Behavior on Stage

It was observed that the group members who took the stage at the festival, which started on the day Tolga Akış was arrested, were demoralized and careful not to touch each other.

The members' choice of trousers and their aloof stance led to various comments on social media regarding censorship and targeting of lifestyles.

Reactions from the Art World

The arrest of manager Tolga Akış on obscenity charges sparked debates in public opinion and the art community.

Famous figure Can Bonomo criticized the current understanding of morality and justice harshly through a post on his social media account.
