Six HDP administrators in the districts of Manisa who had been detained on December 12, 2006 and released on January 9, were taken into custody once again the night before.
The six politicians who were detained during house raids by police forces upon the prosecutor's objection, and who were taken to Manisa provincial police directorate, were later referred to court.

The politicians who were put in jail are:
- HDP Salihli district co-chair Abdulkadir Murg,
- HDP Akhisar district co-chair Sıddık Bülbül,
- HDP Gölmarmara district co-chair Tarık Şahin,
- HDP Sarıgöl district co-chair Abdulhamit Kozcan,
