Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation against Green Left Party Urfa MP Ömer Öcalan. The justification for the investigation was a speech the MP made at a meeting organized on Thursday by the Green Left Party, the Free Women's Movement (TJA), the Marmara Assistance and Solidarity Association with the Families of Detainees and Convicts (MATUHAY-DER), and the Anatolian Association for Assistance and Solidarity with the Families of the Lost Relatives (ANYAKAY-DER).

The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office said in a statement that an investigation was launched into Ömer Öcalan's words regarding the isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan. The MP said: "We are struggling for the release of Abdullah Öcalan, our struggle will continue until Mr. Öcalan and Kurdistan are free."
