The imposition of the body search on Selahattin Demirtaş, the former co-chair of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), initiated upon the directive of the Ministry of Justice, has come to an end.

During a scheduled visit on Wednesday, Demirtaş was required by the prison guards to remove his shoes.

In response to the imposition of such a requirement, Demirtaş announced that he would not meet with his family, members of parliament, or his lawyers.

Demirtaş's lawyers and the Democracy and Progress Party (DEM) held discussions with the Ministry of Justice.

Demirtaş's lawyer, Ramazan Demir, said on his social media account that the imposition of shoe removal had been abandoned following negotiations.

The statement, shared under the signature of the "Demirtaş Defense Team," said: "The unlawful imposition of removing shoes from our client, Mr. Selahattin Demirtaş, both before and after lawyer visits, has been abandoned as a result of the negotiations.

We thank everyone for their sensitivity and support, and convey the greetings of our client, Mr. Demirtaş."
