Upon the criminal complaint of Deputy Commander of Gendarmerie Musa Çitil, an investigation has been launched against Human Rights Association (İHD) Co-Chair Eren Keskin, journalists Yağmur Kaya and Ahmet Kanbal on charge of “turning a counterterrorism official into a target” (June 21).

Eren Keskin did not attend the hearing. The court has once again decided that  Eren Keskin should be heard as a witness and it should be investigated if there is any law case or investigation against Keskin related to the interview that is the subject of the claim. The next hearing will be on June 1 (March 9).
