News Center- Two days have passed since Mehmet Sıddık Akış, the elected Co-mayor of Hakkari, was detained, removed from office and replaced with a state-appointed trustee. For two days, the people of Hakkari have been holding protests while the sit-in protest ended yesterday.

Mehmet Sıddık Akış, who was detained on Monday as part of an investigation, was transferred to Hakkari Courthouse today under police blockade. Police surrounding the courthouse did not allow the lawyers of Mehmet Sıddık Akış to enter the courthouse for a while.

 People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) MPs, members of the Labor and Democracy Platform and citizens, who came in front of the courthouse to monitor the hearing at the Hakkari 1st High Criminal Court were not allowed to enter the courthouse by police.

Only six lawyers have been allowed to enter the courthouse to monitor the hearing.
