ÖZCAN'S BAN ON LEAVING THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN LIFTED

In a statement he made on his social media account, Özcan said: "My ban on leaving the country has been lifted! A year ago, an investigation was initiated against me upon the tweet of Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç because I did not grant business licenses to refugees in Bolu and because I wanted them to leave Bolu. I just learned that the Bolu 2nd Heavy Criminal Court unanimously lifted the 'ban on leaving the country' imposed on me.

But those who imposed this ban need not worry; I have no place to escape to! Additionally, I have no regrets about the decisions I made and the actions I took regarding the departure of refugees from Bolu. I leave myself to the conscience of the Turkish nation."
