Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Suruç district branch co-chair Yaşar Gündüzalp has been taken to the Suruç Courthouse from the Mürşitpınar Gendarmerie Station where he had been summoned to testify after a prison sentence given to him was finalized.

The Penal Department No. 16 of the Supreme Court approved his sentence yesterday.
