Prosecutor Ahmet Altun who prepared the indictment of the Kobanê Trial to close the HDP has filed another legal action against former co-chair of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), Selahattin Demirtaş.

Demirtaş has been accused of "making propaganda for a (terrorist) organization" in an indictment submitted on 23 March 2022 to the Ankara 17th High Criminal Court by the Ankara Public Prosecutor's Office.

Demirtaş is claimed to have posted the slogan "Biji Serok Apo" (Long live Öcalan) over social media on 16 November 2013.

Prosecutor demands a prison sentence of 1 to 5 years for Demirtaş. However, it is reported that the indictment has not yet been accepted by the High Criminal Court.
