A popular singer is on trial for speaking out against the war against the PKK in eastern Turkiye. The prosecutor accuses Bulent Ersoy of making dangerous propaganda for the PKK, describing military service as the "sacred duty" of every Turk.

But Ms Ersoy told the judge she had committed no crime. The singer said she stood by her words and her right to express her thoughts freely - as a loyal citizen of her country.
"Even if they hang me, I'll keep talking," she said.

Article 318 of the penal code - "dissuading people from military service" - is frequently used by the military against its critics. Meanwhile another article, 301, makes it a crime to insult the Turkish nation and its institutions, which is used to stifle free speech.

What are the limits of free speech vs. harming the country?
