Ferhat Encü sent to F Type Prison in Kocaeli

HPD Şırnak MP Ferhat Encü who was arrested earlier today has been sent to Kandıra F Type Closed Prison in Kocaeli province.

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Şırnak MP Ferhat Encü was detained in Istanbul last night and taken to Şırnak.

Encü's interrogation at the prosecutor's office lasted 3 hours, after which he was referred to court that ordered his arrest Friday evening.

Encü was accused of “alienating the public from military service, terrorist propaganda, incitement to animosity, entering military prohibited zones, attempted murder of a public official for their duty".

During the hearing, Encü protested the arrest order by applauding the chief judge that announced the ruling. He was later sent to the Kandıra F Type Closed Prison in the western province of Kocaeli where Amed Co-mayors Gültan Kışanak and Fırat Anlı, and KJA Spokeswoman Ayla Akat are also being held since their arrest last week.
