The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) accepted the objection to the continuation of arrest for former Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-chair Selahattin Demirtas and Turkey’s appeal together. The Demirtas case will be heard at the ECHR Grand Chamber.

Demirtas and Turkish government will be asked once again for their opinions. A hearing will be held in Strasbourg at a date to be determined by the ECHR and a new ruling will be issued.
