At least twenty people have been detained as part of an investigation conducted in Bolu province. Among those detaineed is Alişan Şahin, a member of the board of the Lawyers' Association ÖHD.
Twenty people were taken into custody in various cities in Turkey as part of an investigation by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Bolu, including lawyer Alişan Şahin. Şahin is a board member of the Association of Lawyers for Freedom (ÖHD), and his arrest took place at his home in Ankara. He was taken to the gendarmerie station in Yenimahalle district. What the proceedings are about is unknown so far; the file is subject to a confidentiality clause.
Only recently, proceedings were initiated against lawyers organized in the ÖHD for "membership in a terrorist organization," and several members in Batman and Amed (Diyarbakır) were summoned. Again, nothing more specific can be learned about the proceedings due to a confidentiality order.
