Writer Ergün Poyraz could not attend the first hearing of the trial in which he is being held in pre-trial detention for his social media posts due to health problems. The prosecutor requested his release with judicial control due to the nature of the charge and his health condition, but the court rejected this request. The court ruled for the continuation of detention on the grounds that his defense was not taken and the current state of evidence.
