Seven out of thirteen people who had been taken into custody in the southern province of Mersin two days ago have been arrested on Saturday.

Among the thirteen, seven minors were referred to Mersin Court and six others to Adana Court on Friday.

Four children and three adults have been sent to prison today for allegedly "being members and spreading propaganda of an illegal organization".

Twenty five other people were also remanded in custody in Mersin on 29 September for alleged “membership and leadership of the KCK (Kurdish Communities Union) organization”.
