ANKARA (AA) - Renowned French singer Imany called for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip during her concert Tuesday in the Turkish capital Ankara.

"Put your fist up for the oppressed. Put your fist up for all the innocent people getting killed everywhere in this world. Put your fist up for freedom. Put your fist up for a cease-fire in Gaza,” Imany told the crowd from Ankara’s Oran Open Air Stage before performing her favorite songs accompanied by a visual show and eight cellists.

"Free Palestine! If Palestine is not free, none of us is free," she added.

The audience supported the call by raising their fists and applauding.

Imany, renowned for debut album The Shape of a Broken Heart, which reached platinum status in France and Greece and triple platinum in Poland, is gearing up to delight music lovers across Türkiye with songs from her latest offering, Voodoo Cello.

The Ankara concert will be followed by performances at the Izmir Kultur Park Open Air Theater on June 5, the Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Theater in Istanbul on June 7 and the Antalya Open-Air Theater on June 8.
