"My friend and I decided to make a pilgrimage to the holy places in Turkiye. We had round-trip tickets, vouchers for a hotel where we were supposed to stay for two days. I was forbidden to leave, subjected to humiliating searches [at the airport]. They returned my passport and ticket when the plane was already on the runway," Markell told journalists.
