Mardin Marilyn see also this TNT report from 2018.
Attacked by a "misfit".
Melek Karahan, known in Mardin for her resemblance to American
movie star Marilyn Monroe, was slapped by horse owner Ş.E. in her
store because Melek hanım had posted a message on social media
criticizing those who let tourists ride horses, causing harm to the
animals.
The store security camera captured the confrontation, about which
Melek hanım said "there are some youths who earn money by letting
tourists ride horses, but they ought not to because the steps are broken
and the horse can slip and fall. I had no idea I would be attacked for
saying this. I don't know what I'll do now."
NOTE: Mardin city sits on a steep slope with stairs going up and
down.
Letting tourists ride horses has been banned by the Mardin municipality
but the trade continues nevertheless. Melek hanım added that "they
shouldn't let tourists ride the horses - just let them mount and dismount
and earn money from that. The municipal police told me to take a video
of the horses being ridden so I did and then I posted the video on social
media."
