Two young people who were detained in a house raid on Thursday as part of an investigation conducted by Urfa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office were remanded in custody.

The two young men, accused of "membership in an illegal organisation" were taken to the courthouse after the procedures at the police station. Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) Party Assembly Member Muhsin Aydoğdu, who chanted "Victory will be for the resisting Kurdish people", was beaten by the police.

The detainees were kept in the corridor of the courthouse in handcuffs for a long time in violation of the legislation. The handcuffs were removed after the lawyers’ objection.

Zozan Polat, Mahmut Çoban Muhsin Aydoğdu and Ömer Kıstak were then referred to the Criminal Judicature of Peace by the prosecutor's Office. Polat and Çoban were released on judicial control conditions. Aydoğdu and Kıstak, on the other hand, were remanded in custody on the grounds of "alleged membership in an illegal organisation" due to the press statements and activities they participated in. They were then taken to Hilvan Prison.

The mass waiting in front of the courthouse protested the arrests with slogans.

Speaking in front of the courthouse, DEM Party Urfa Provincial Co-Chair Bekir Karakeçili said, "The decision is not legal but political. The government continues to perpetuate lawlessness through the judiciary. These unlawful decisions do not benefit anyone. We call for an end to these unlawful judgments as soon as possible. No one should hope to benefit from these unlawful judgments. The people gave you a good lesson in the last election. We will carry the flag left by Muhsin and Ömer to a higher level."
