Istanbul, detention of woman without mask

Two police officers suspended for using force with woman without mask

The governor of Istanbul announced on Thursday the suspension of two policemen, after the controversial images on social media in which they used excessive force to arrest a woman who apparently did not wear the mask properly. The video, which went viral, was recorded by several witnesses in the Kadıköy district: the woman appears on it crying and screaming, and when another woman asks the policemen “What are you doing!” one of them responds “He kicked me!”
