NEW YORK (AP) - British graffiti artist Banksy is drawing crowds to his New York City mural but for an unfortunate reason. It seems somebody has added a signature tag to his artful protest of the imprisonment of a Turkish artist and journalist. The mural bearing the slogan "Free Zehra Dogan" was recently installed on the Houston Bowery Wall, made famous by Keith Haring in the late 1970s. People pass by a mural by British graffiti artist Banksy protesting the imprisonment of Turkish artist Zehra Dogan Friday, March 16, 2018, in New York. Banksy has created the New York mural protesting the imprisonment of Dogan, an ethnic Kurd jailed after painting the Turkish flag flying over the rubble of a destroyed town.
