Turkish Girl Band Sentenced for 'Indecent Behavior' - Turkish pop group Manifest convicted over ‘indecent’ concert performance
An Istanbul court has convicted Turkish pop group Manifest for 'indecent behaviour' following a controversial concert near me last September. The all-female act, known for their energetic performances, faced legal action over their dance routines and stage outfits. Each member, along with guest performer DJ Bobo, received a suspended prison sentence of three months and 22 days.
The case centred on a September concert where Manifest performed in revealing outfits and dance moves described by the court as 'resembling sexual intercourse'. The ruling stated that these actions violated public morality laws.
The suspended sentences mean no immediate imprisonment for Manifest or DJ Bobo. However, the conviction sets a legal precedent for future performances in Turkey. The group’s next steps remain unclear as they navigate the ruling’s impact on their career.
