A lawsuit was filed against People’s Democratic Party (HDP) Cizre District Co-Chair Güler Tunç and lawyer Gülşen Elçi due to the election posters of the party. HDP has chosen the slogan, “Azadî bi xwerêveberinê dest pê dike [Freedom starts with self-administration]” as the election campaign before the March 31 local elections, hanging posters including this slogan in many provinces and districts. Tunç and Elçi will stand trial with the allegation of “praising the offense and the offender” due to these posters. The first hearing of the lawsuit will be held on June 13th at Cizre 2nd Criminal Court of First Instance.
