Former PYD (Democratic Union Party) Co-chair Saleh Muslim who had been taken into custody in Prague this weekend on Turkey’s demand faced a judge today. The hearing was held in the Prague Municipal Court and Muslim was released. Turkey’s accusations with no legal base were not reciprocated by the court.

In a first statement to Medya News TV, Muslim criticized the arrest warrant Turkey issued for him. He said; “The arrest warrant for me was issued through judiciary before. I was referred to court. There can be no such a thing. I am a citizen of another country. The court made its decision on this basis and released me.”

Moslem thanked everyone that made efforts for his release, saying; “We are all one. They are trying to silence us as we are having talks in Europe for Afrin. They couldn’t succeed though. Europe has laws, principles and not everyone is under the Turkish state’s command. They cannot silence the Kurdish people.”
