The 4-year 8-month imprisonment sentence issued against arrested former People’s Democratic Party (HDP) Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş by Istanbul 26th Assize Court due to the speech he gave during the Newroz celebration in Istanbul in 2013, was approved by the Court of Cassation. This file against Demirtaş was evaluated at the court with chief judge Akın Gürlek, and has not been merged with the main case file at Ankara 19th Assize Court, to which all propaganda cases filed against Demirtaş were merged.
