The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Izmir provincial co-chairs Berna Çelik, Çınar Altan and HDP Buca district co-chair Nihat Türk, who were taken into custody during a police raid in Izmir on the morning of 6 October, were sent to the courthouse after their statements were taken at the police station on Monday.

The co-chairs were accused of "membership in an illegal organization" and were asked questions about the press statements and events they attended.

The co-chairs, who were first taken to the hospital after their statements to the police, were kept handcuffed inside the courthouse for hours.

The co-chairs were then brought to the Izmir Courthouse in Bayraklı and after their statements to the prosecutor's office, they were referred to the court with a request for arrest. HDP Izmir provincial co-chairs Berna Çelik and Çınar Altan, who appeared before the Izmir Criminal Court of Peace, were remanded in custody on the allegation of "membership in an illegal organisation".

After the arrest decision of Altan and Çelik, a protest was held in the courthouse corridors with applause and chants.

HDP Buca district co-chair Nihat Türk was also remanded in custody after giving his statement at the Magistrate's Office.
