New photos of former HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş, who has been detained in Edirne F-Type Closed Prison since November 4, 2016, were shared by DEM Party member Pervin Buldan. Drawing attention to recently circulated fake images, Buldan called on the public, "Do not trust AI-generated photos."
DEM Party Van Deputy Pervin Buldan visited politician Selahattin Demirtaş, who is imprisoned in Edirne Prison. Sharing the photos taken during the visit, which were recently delivered by the prison administration, with the public, Buldan revealed Demirtaş's current condition.
"DON'T BELIEVE AI-GENERATED IMAGES"
In response to the recent circulation on social media platforms of some images claimed to belong to Selahattin Demirtaş, which were produced using artificial intelligence tools and do not reflect reality, Buldan issued a clear denial.
Sharing two photos taken side by side with Demirtaş on her personal social media account, Buldan stated the following:
"I just received the photos we took during my most recent visit to dear Selahattin Demirtaş. Nobody should pay attention to AI-generated photos. Greetings and regards."
RESPONSE TO QUESTION ABOUT RELEASE POSSIBILITY
Another notable statement regarding Demirtaş's detention process and release expectations came from DEM Party Diyarbakır Deputy Cengiz Çandar, who visited him recently. Sharing the details of the meeting, Çandar conveyed Demirtaş's remarks about his time in prison and release possibilities to the public, saying, "He told me, 'There is no difference between serving 10 years and serving 15 years.'"
