Miguel Alvaro claims he endured a horrifying ordeal when he was targeted and physically assaulted by Turkish police solely based on his appearance, being perceived as gay and suspected of planning to participate in the Pride march in Istanbul
Yeah, I think he was quite unlucky, he was not even aware of the attempt to a pride parade and made the fatal mistake of asking for directions to the area where the pride would happen and there you go, 9 days unable to make a phone call in overcrowded prisons and more 11 days in prison after the first phone call. Welcome to Türkye…
How is “Looking gay” defined according to Turkish law? Just being handsome as hell?

I would be surprised if this wasn’t caused by a “very straight” policeman trying to compensate for his own sexual confusion.
As far as I know, homosexuality isn’t even illegal in Turkiye. Seems like police just making up rules as usual.
