We call on the AKP government and Ministry of Justice to make an immediate statement regarding Demirtaşs health condition

We call on the AKP government and Ministry of Justice to make an immediate statement regarding the information provided by the lawyers of our former co-chair Mr Selahattin Demirtaş.

What is the current health condition of Mr. Demirtaş? Why was he not immediately taken to the hospital?

The required procedures for Demirtaş’s transfer to a fully equipped hospital should be carried out without delay. 

It is absolutely unacceptable that Mr. Demirtaş has not been referred to a hospital so far, and the authorities are fully responsible for this situation.

Our Deputy Parliamentary Speaker Mithat Sancar and Parliamentary Group Deputies will be visiting Edirne Prison.
