The indictment prepared against Republican People’s Party (CHP) MP Eren Erdem with the allegation that he aids the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) was accepted by Istanbul 35th Assize Court. The first hearing will be held on September 19; the court issued a travel ban against Erdem within the judicial control provisions.
However, Erdem planned a trip to Germany beforehand, and he was rejected from the airport and his passport was seized. The indictment claims 22 years of imprisonment in total against Erdem due to “attempting to create a public perception by using press and media, hence leading the government into a position where it can no longer function.”
