The people taken into custody in police operations carried out throughout Turkey, following the action of two members of the Immortals Battalion against TUSAŞ facilities in Ankara on 23 October, were brought to the prosecutor's office on Monday after giving their statements at the police station.

Fifteen out of 35 people detained in Istanbul were arrested on charges of being members of an organization.

Among those arrested is lawyer Bedirhan Sarsılmaz, a member of the Association of Lawyers for Freedom (ÖHD), who was detained in court.

Detention based on assumptions

It turned out that the police statements regarding the 35 people detained in Istanbul were completely based on assumptions.

ÖHD member lawyers who took the statements of those detained said that the police did not make any concrete accusations against them, and that all the accusations were explained as assumptions and 'intelligence information'.
