HDP MP Altan Tan has been sentenced to 2 years in prison due to a speech he made in 2012. The sentence has been deferred.

HDP Mersin deputy Kürkçü and Diyarbakır deputy Tan commented on President Erdoğan’s words “If HDP is the assembly, it can’t be at the resolution process table”.

Justice Ministry approved Peace and Democracy deputies Sırrı Sürreya Önder, Altan Tan and Pervin Buldan to meet PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan in Imrali island.

The court decided to bring Altan Tan, deputy of the pro-Kurdish BDP, to court on compulsion. He is facing more than 23 years in jail. "One day, these prosecutors will be ashamed like the prosecutors of 12 September", Tan told bianet.

Peace and Democracy Party member Altan Tan is facing 23.5 years in prison on the grounds of attending a couple of meetings before the general elections held last June. He is charged with "propaganda" and "committing a crime on behalf of an organization".
