An investigation has been launched against the leaders of Halkevleri in Ankara following a protest held on April 1, 2026, against allegations of fraud in the LGS exams. The prosecutor’s office summoned General President Nebiye Merttürk and Central Executive Committee member Berna Demirdaş for questioning on charges of inciting the public to hatred and hostility and insulting a public official. Halkevleri officials stated that they had criticized education policies and that this fell within the scope of freedom of expression. Halkevleri’s lawyer explained that the specific statements deemed criminal were not specified and that the investigation lacked a legal basis.
