“The urban consensus case is a case that contradicts the peace process. I learned that 7 release orders were issued and 2 detentions were continued. We are experiencing a bittersweet joy.
I convey my best wishes to our friends who were released; they have brought relief to our hearts. However, the release of all our other friends being tried for the urban consensus as soon as possible will increase trust and belief in the peace process.”
