Muhammed Eren Sütçü, who carried out a racist attack on the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Bahçelievler District Organization in December and was arrested on charges of "threatening with a gun", "insulting" and "attempting to injure with a gun" has been released.

The first hearing in the trial against Sütçü was held on 7 June at Bakırköy 7th Criminal Court of First Instance. Considering the accusations against Sütçü, the court decided that the file should be heard in the High Criminal Court. Thereupon, the file was sent to the 13th Penal Chamber of the Istanbul Regional Court of Justice.

The Chamber ruled that the High Criminal Court should look into the case due to the accusations against Sütçü. Bakırköy 18th High Criminal Court, which looked at the file, decided to release Sutcu on probation, arguing that the accusations against Sütçü, the time he was in detention, and the alleged crime had changed in favour of Sütçü. The court also lifted the ongoing house arrest for Sütçü and set a new hearing on 7 December.
