Gaziantep 7th Assize Court sentenced Recep Özdemir to 4 years and six months of imprisonment due to ‘illegal organization propaganda.’ Özdemir was on pre-trial detention for three months after reacting against the Afrin operation on the social media.
Taken into custody on 12 February 2018 with the allegation of making illegal organization propaganda on the social media, Recep Özdemir was later arrested on February 19. His social media posts considered criminal were the song “Şifa İstemem [I do not want healing]” by Delila and the photograph shared with the inscription, “200 residences in Cinderes were bombed yesterday. Civilians are dying.” The court sentenced the verdict considering the higher limit, due to the posts made during the operations.
