GENDARMERIE DID NOT ALLOW MEETING

Before the hearing began, the lawyer of detained defendant Suat Kurt wanted to meet with his client. The gendarmerie teams did not allow the meeting, stating, "You need to get permission from the court panel."

SEVERE INSULTS TO ÖZGÜR ÖZEL

In response, Kurt directed insults and curses towards CHP General President Özel, saying, "Özgür Özel, you are dishonorable, you treacherous one." The gendarmerie teams removed Kurt from the courtroom.

After the court panel arrived, Kurt's lawyer requested a meeting with the panel, and permission was granted for the meeting. The hearing continues with the defense of the defendants.
