The Human Rights Association (IHD) Istanbul Branch made a statement and demanded the release of former HDP MP Hüda Kaya, who has been held hostage since 1 November 2023.

IHD Co-Chair Eren Keskin and DEM Party MYK (Central Executive Board) member Musa Piroğlu also attended the press conference. Hüda Kaya's lawyer, Zilan Leventoğlu, recalled that her client was arrested on the grounds of "suspicion of fleeing".

Zilan Leventoğlu stated that Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office issued an unlawful fugitive warrant and rejected the objections.

Hüda Kaya's daughter, Nurcihan Rençber, emphasised that they oppose unjust practices and called for "freedom for Hüda Kaya".

IHD Co-Chair Eren Keskin stated that Hüda Kaya had been wronged and that Turkey had violated conventions.

Musa Piroğlu from the DEM Party stated that they are at a time when the law is suspended and Kaya is one of those who have suffered the most wrath.

Former HDP MP Züleyha Gülüm also demanded freedom for Kaya and said, "Those who demand freedom and justice in this country will successfully conclude this struggle."
