“I don’t think anyone should be arrested because of their clothing. People cross this bridge wearing all sorts of things,” one of the fishermen said. “But unfortunately there is conservative pressure on people now because we have a religious government.”

The AK Party – which is led by devout Muslims – has been in power since 2002. Some are concerned Turkey is becoming more conservative under its rule.

“Men here are not well educated,” another fisherman adds.
“It’s the mothers that fail to teach them. But overall, the state sides with men when things should be equal.”

Wise words from the fishermen.
