Amed Metropolitan Co-Mayors Gültan Kışanak and Fırat Anlı were taken to Diyarbakır Courthouse earlier today after the procedures at the police headquarters since their detention on October 25.

The processing of Co-Mayors, who had not given their statements until they met their lawyers yesterday, continued until this morning, after which they were taken to Diyarbakır Courthouse for a hearing.

Anlı, accused of “membership to an illegal organisation” in the investigation with a confidentiality order, was arrested late Sunday evening.

While Kışanak was similarly accused of “administration of an illegal organisation”, her trial is reported to be continuing.

The bases of the accusations are the Co-Mayors municipal activities and the surveillance of the meetings that were carried out in the DTK (Democratic Society Congress) building.
