Police took HDP’s Istanbul lawmaker and deputy parliamentary speaker Pervin Buldan from her residence for additional statement in an ongoing trial in a local court, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to restriction on speaking to the media.
The High Criminal Court in the eastern province of Igdir demanded further statement for a trial where she was charged with “praising crime and criminal” and “making terror propaganda”. Buldan went to Istanbul’s 6th High Penal Court with her lawyer and left the courtyard after giving statement to the court.
Meanwhile, HDP’s press bureau released a written statement claiming that Buldan was detained by police in the early hours of the day. Buldan also wrote in her official Twitter account that police detained her from the residence in Istanbul.
