Ahead of the first “Kobani case” hearing on Monday, the hashtag #HDPYargılıyor (“HDP judges”) topped Twitter’s list of trending topics in Turkey.
From Monday, 108 members, deputies, mayors, and co-chairs of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), including jailed former co-chairs Selahattin Demirtaş and Figen Yüksekdağ, will be tried in Ankara in connection with the 6-8 October 2014 Kobani protests in Turkey.
Supporters of the HDP launched a solidarity campaign on Twitter with the hashtag #HDPYargılıyor.
