Hatice Ateş has been taken into custody with an operation in December 2017 in Bursa and was arrested due to her social media posts. In the case she was on trial at Bursa 2nd Assize Court, Ateş was sentenced to 1 year and three months of imprisonment due to ‘making illegal organization propaganda.’ A photo of killed Diyarbakır Bar Association Chairman Tahir Elçi, which was among the photos on the social media profile of Ateş, was considered a reason for penalty as well. Ateş was convicted and released in the first hearing of the case held on April 18 after five months in detention.
