Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Dersim MP Alican Önlü has been taken into custody at Diyarbakır Courthouse where he went earlier today to monitor the hearing against Amed MP İdris Baluken who has been sentenced to 16 years and 11 months in prison.

Önlü was reportedly detained in the scope of an “forced court appearance” order issued against him because he has not testified so far in two cases opened against him by Şırnak Public Prosecutor’s Office.

Önlü is held at the prosecutor’s office at the moment.
