Fırat Bulut was taken into custody in Esenboğa Airport in Ankara at night on March 9 on his return from Malatya in the earthquake-hit region.

Bulut was detained on the ground of a warrant issued by the Bingöl Penal Court of Peace and he was taken to the police station at the Esenboğa Airport.

He was taken to the Çubuk courthouse after health checks in the morning on March 10. He was connected to the Bingöl Penal Court via the Audiovisual Information System (SEGBİS). The Prosecutor’s Office requested judicial control for Bulut, but the court rejected the request and released Bulut (March 10).
