The first hearing of the lawsuit filed against conscientious objector Bülent Bektaş due to ‘making illegal organization propaganda’ by reacting against the Afrin Operation and making a call for people “not to perform military service” on the social media was held at Ankara 29th Assize Court.
In his defense, Bektaş indicated that he has made such posts as a conscientious objector and an antimilitarist, anti-war individual; pointing out to a poem by Bertolt Brecht mentioned as crime element in the indictment. The court scheduled the next hearing to 6 November 2018.
