People's Defense Forces (HPG) has announced that the eight prisoners it is holding will be released and handed over to the delegation on Wednesday.

A six-person delegation which left Diyarbakır on Monday has arrived in Hewler on Tuesday.

The delegation includes Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) deputies Sebahat Tuncel, Hüsamettin Zenderlioğlu and Adil Kurt, as well as Human Rights Association (IHD) President Öztürk Türkdoğan, IHD Diyarbakır Branch Chair Raci Bilici and MAZLUMDER Chairman Ahmet Faruk Ünsal.

Tuncel was however denied permission to leave Turkey because of the ban on leaving the country she had received earlier. She is reported to be waiting for the delegation in Şırnak with the families of detained Turkish officials.

According to the reports, two officials from Federal Kurdistan Region will also take place in the delegation while accepting the prisoners tomorrow.
