Former CHP deputy Berhan Şimşek was detained at the hotel where he was staying in the Burhaniye district of Balıkesir in the middle of the night.
It was learned that Şimşek was detained on the grounds that he did not appear in a case for which he was summoned to give a statement.
Şimşek was released after his statement was taken.
'LONG LIVE JUSTICE'
Reacting to the incident on his social media account, Şimşek shared the following note:
"The reason for my detention at 03:00 last night is a case in which I am the plaintiff. We cannot say that the judiciary in Turkey is not working. Those wanted with red notices live in villas, while we are detained in the middle of the night to be intimidated! Long live justice"
