Emel \u00c7ift\u00e7i was taken into custody as a result of an investigation launched in Ankara and Batman. The artist was questioned on charges of &#8220;membership of a terrorist organization&#8221; and &#8220;leading an organization&#8221; because of her cultural and artistic activities. \u00c7ift\u00e7i was remanded in custody as the judge found that there were &#8220;grounds to suspect escape and concealment of evidence&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c7it\u00e7i&#8217;s medical reports were presented by her lawyers, who said the artist had been diagnosed with uterine cancer and needed emergency surgery. Despite the fact that \u00c7it\u00e7i was being treated in a state hospital and had a permanent residence, the court decided to send her to prison. \u00c7it\u00e7i also suffers from a thyroid disorder.
