Ağrı 1st Assize Court sentenced People’s Democratic Party (HDP) member Sırrı Sakık to 5 years and ten months of imprisonment due to the press statement he held after the Ağrı and Tendürek mountains were declared temporary military zones after 2015, when the clashes started. Ağrı Public Prosecutor’s Office made an application for appealing the court decision, due to the verdict being issued against the Prosecutor’s opinion. Sakık’s lawyer also appealed for correction due to the court verdict being unlawful.
