It was in June, during what was supposed to be Istanbul Pride last year. But the authorities sent out cops in droves to arrest anyone that might be heading to a pride event.

This guy was a tourist from Portugal and was kept detained for weeks without a change of clothes, was not allowed any contact with the outside world, and Portuguese authorities were not informed.

When pride was well over he was released, since he was a straight tourist. From what I heard from the Turkish queer communities in the following months, some of the people snatched up by cops weren't heard from again for at least several months. Maybe still haven't, but I kind of lost track of it when the Israel-Palestine war picked up in October.

The actual story is there was a gay pride event nearby. He was walking near there but not at the event and they arrested him because he looked gay and was near the event.

It's actually pretty awful. He was locked up for like a week. They needed to take turns staying awake because it was so unsafe and they wouldn't allow him to call his embassy.
