The Turkish rappers who rib the regime

“I GREW UP apolitical, I never voted, and all I cared about was vacation, travel, and debt,” a young man in a buttoned-up polo shirt says into the camera. “Now I’m too scared to tweet, I’m afraid of my own country’s police.” The camera pulls out. The man, it is revealed, is behind bars. Seated to his side is Sarp Palaur, better known as Saniser, a popular rapper. “Sorry to say, but this hopeless generation is your creation,” Mr Palaur snaps back at his cellmate. “The justice that was supposed to protect you will come knocking and break down your door...you didn’t say a word, which means you’re guilty.”
