The names of 2 lawyers are not reported since there is a confidentiality order.
Lawyers learned that they were included in the investigation conducted against 29 MEBYA-DER members who were detained. When MEBYA-DER members and executives were brought to the Diyarbakır Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the prosecutor informed the lawyers that they were suspects in the file and thus cannot be allowed to defend their clients.
