Halkevleri member Leylanur Mavili was detained after hanging a banner on one of the billboards placed along the protocol route ahead of the NATO Summit in Ankara and making a speech there. Mavili went to the prosecutor’s office in Ankara to give a statement but was transferred to Yozgat because prosecutors conducted the investigation there and authorities issued a detention order against her. Prosecutors accused Mavili of “membership in a terrorist organization” and cited the banner and her speech as evidence. After four days in custody, Mavili was referred to a criminal judgeship of peace with a request for her arrest and was released under judicial control.
