4th Criminal Chamber of Gaziantep Regional Court approved the imprisonment sentence against People’s Democratic Party (HDP) Hakkari MP Abdullah Zeydan for 8 years, 1 month and 15 days due to ‘aiding a terrorist organization without being a member’ and ‘making terrorist organization propaganda.’

 

Zeydan has been arrested on 4 November 2016 due to the speech he gave during the meeting organized by the district directories of HDP and Democratic Regions Party (DBP) in Yüksekova district of Hakkari on 26 July 2015  to react against airstrikes of the Turkish Armed Forces and detainments across the country. He was later convicted following the proceeding at Diyarbakır 5th Assize Court. The Court of Appeal decided that there is no inconsistency with law in the local court decision in terms of principle and procedure; denying the claim for Zeydan’s release.
