ISTANBUL: An Istanbul court on Wednesday sentenced a prominent TV talent manager to 12.5 years behind bars for “seeking to overthrow the government” during the 2013 street protests, state news agency Anadolu reported. Prosecutors had called for Ayse Barim, 55, to face life in jail for her alleged complicity in a plot to bring down the government — charges she has repeatedly denied since her arrest in January 2025.
