WHY IS SELAHATTİN DEMİRTAŞ IN PRISON?

Selahattin Demirtaş was taken into custody on November 4, 2016, along with HDP Co-Chair Figen Yüksekdağ and nine other HDP deputies, on charges of "establishing an organization for the purpose of committing crimes," "being a member of a terrorist organization," "being a member of an armed terrorist organization," and "committing crimes on behalf of an organization." He was subsequently arrested and taken to Edirne F-Type Prison. Demirtaş has been in prison for approximately 8 years.
