Adana

The 21st Adana Golden Boll Film Festival will be held this year from Sept. 15 to 21 with activities related to cinema and more.

Famous director Reha Erdem will head the jury of the National Feature Film Competition at this year’s festival.

Police have demanded prosecutors to press charges on 28 protesters, detained for their participation in several demonstrations between August 2013 and April 2014 in the southern province of Adana, with “trying to disprove the prime minister’s statements during the Gezi Park incidents.”

In a report prepared by two opposition deputies, shocking incidents were revealed in the Juvenile Ward of the Adana Ceyhan Prison, which included rape; while guards at the prison complained of prisoners throwing razor blades and pouring boiling water on them.

New footage has emerged showing a raid, which took place last January in the southern province of Adana, on trucks belonging to the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MÄ°T) bound for Syria.

Since the raid, a court has accepted an indictment on spying charges against the 13 soldiers who stopped and searched the trucks.

Two men have been detained in the southern Turkish province of Adana attempting to shoplift, while wearing the same T-shirts they stole before.

One of the men, identified as Çağlar S., was detained after he tried to leave a supermarket in the Seyhan neighborhood with an expensive bottle of alcoholic drink hidden under his T-shirt.
