Hozan Canê

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hozan Canê (* 1971 in Karayazı , Turkey , as Saide İnaç ) is a German filmmaker and singer. She is known for her contributions to Kurdish music .

Life

Canê was forcibly married at the age of twelve and gave birth to the first of their three children at the age of 13. In the early 1990s she moved to live with her sister in Istanbul . She performed as a singer and sang songs in Kurdish. As this led to persecution by the Turkish authorities, she applied for asylum in Germany. She last lived in Cologne with her daughter Dilan Örs .

Canê also worked as a filmmaker. She wrote the script and directed 74th Genocide Sengal . The film is about the persecution of the Yazidis by the Islamic State in the Shingal Mountains. She also worked as an actress in the film. The film was shown in Cologne in 2016 and also at the festivals in Cannes and Monaco.

Arrest, Trial and Imprisonment

Canê was arrested in Edirne shortly before the 2018 presidential election in Turkey , where she had supported an election rally by the pro-Kurdish party HDP . On November 14, 2018, a Turkish court sentenced her to six years and three months in prison for membership in the terrorist organization PKK . The prosecution justified the charges with, among other things, her posts on Facebook and a photo in which she can be seen with Murat Karayilan , a leader of the PKK . Following her arrest, her daughter stated that Hozan Canê's fake accounts were repeatedly being created on Facebook and that legal action was now being taken against them. Her lawyer Newroz Akalin said after the conviction that the photo with Murat Karayilan was taken at the press conference on April 23, 2013, which is considered the beginning of the peace process that followed her. Various journalists were present at the press conference and no one was charged with membership in the PKK.

After Hozan Canê was released in April 2019 until the start of her sentence, her daughter Dilan Örs traveled from Cologne to Istanbul to visit her mother. She was also arrested on May 24, 2019, then released and banned from leaving the country. The reason for this is that Örs is said to have been involved in an action by a group close to the PKK in Cologne in 2012. Örs was arrested again in Edirne in September 2019 because she is said to have tried to cross the border, despite being banned from leaving the country.

On September 16, 2019, a court in Edirne Hozan, Turkey, sentenced Canê to a suspended sentence of one year and five months for insulting the president . According to her lawyer, the occasion was a cartoon about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on a Facebook page under her name.

When her case was renegotiated in August 2020, the judges ordered the continuation of pre-trial detention. They complied with the public prosecutor's request. Representatives of the German Consulate General in Istanbul and the human rights policy spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group, Frank Schwabe , also attended the hearing. According to Schwabe's assessment, the German citizen Hozan Canê was “definitely” not treated according to the rule of law by the Turkish judiciary. Canê's daughter is still not allowed to leave Turkey. The trial against Hozan Canê will continue in September 2020.
