Another lawsuit was added to those filed against the Diyarbakır Bar Association due to their statements on April 24. Imprisonment sentences were claimed against Diyarbakır Bar Association Chairman Cihan Aydın and Executive Board members for up to 2 years due to “denigrating the government” in accordance with Article 301 of the Turkish Criminal Code (TCK) through their statements on April 24, 2019. The statement, entitled, “1915…!” as well as another statement, entitled, “We Are Not Afraid And We Will Not Be Silent!” launched in December 2019 as a reaction against a lawsuit filed on the April 24 statement, were presented as crime evidence in the case file.
