Ayşe Gökkan had her final hearing in a Diyarbakır (Amed) court on January 26 in her ongoing trial, which she has been facing a prison sentence on charges of “leading a terrorist organisation” and “being a member of a terrorist organisation”.

The court issued an arrest warrant for Gökkan and she was taken into custody from her house in Diyarbakır by the counter-terror police forces. After having spent a night in detention, Gökkan will stand on trial before a Heavy Penal Court in Diyarbakır.
