NO ACCESS TO FOOD
 
The lawyers whom the police intervened 5 times were stuck in the middle of barricades through the night. The lawyers who are under blockade, aren't allowed to go outside of the barricades. While the demand of the lawyers for some chairs was denied, the food brought by Ankara Bar Association was confiscated by the police. Distribution of raincoats and soup sent by Ankara Metropolitan Municipality was allowed late at night.
 
While the lawyers aren't even allowed to use the bathroom, which is outside of the police barricades, the situation was interpreted as active detention. Lawyers protested the situation and told the police they would be allowed to use the bathroom if they were detained in a police station and a potable toilet was installed.
