Musician Joan Baez has sent a message of solidarity for the music band "Grup Yorum" following the arrest of seven of its members in the culture center where it had been working.
Joan Baez in her message said;
"The fact that you have been put in prison means that your music and your work has touched people, has moved people, that you have given strength and courage, that you have been true to your beliefs.
"You must have that courage now for yourselves.
"I'll tell your story when I sing.
"Thank you for taking our place, making a sacrifice for us. Bless you, Joan Baez."
