Turkish court orders conditional release of ex-HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas
[Rudaw] A court in the Ottoman Turkish capital city of Ankara has ordered the release of former Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) leader Selahattin Demirtas, detained since November 2016 on terror-related charges. His release is conditional upon whether he will be granted parole for a near five-year sentence he is currently serving, as well as the verdict of other terror-related charges posed against him.

According to a document shared by HDP officials ‐ purportedly the court verdict - the release of the Kurdish leader has been ordered "if the defendant is not convicted for other crimes."

"Today, a court has ruled that our former co-chair Selahattin Demirtas should be freed. Demirtas has been in prison for nearly three years on purely political charges. He must be released as soon as possible," read a statement from the HDP.
