Detained after making a statement in protest of offensive into Afrin, 17 people including Human Rights Association Hatay Branch Chair Can have been released on probation.

Those who were detained after having made a “no to war” statement have been sent to court for arrest on charge of “propagandizing for an illegal organization”. Human Rights Association Hatay Branch Chair Can is among those sent to court for arrest.

HDP’s Meral Danış Beştaş has submitted a parliamentary question on the detention of rights defenders and politicians following their declaration titled “No to the war in Afrin”, asking: “Why does the government target freedom of thought and expression?”

The Anti-Terror Department of the police force has staged an operation against 27 people including İHD, HDP, and DİSK administrators in Hatay province. Attorney Can thinks the reason for the operation is their declaration that “policies of war in Afrin must be discontinued.”
