ANKARA - The attorneys of former HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş have submitted a request for his release, citing the recent Constitutional Court ruling of right violation.
 
The attorneys of Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) former Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş have appealed to court and requested his release.
 
The application of the attorneys has come shortly after the Constitutional Court concluded that the right to personal liberty and security of Demirtaş was violated as the period that he had served behind bars as an arrestee exceeded the reasonable duration foreseen by the law.
 
The recent request for release has been submitted on the ground of this Constitutional Court ruling of right violation.
 
As reported by Ferit Aslan from Medyascope, Demirtaş's attorneys Mahsuni Karaman, Benan Molu, Ramazan Demir, Aygül Demirtaş Gökalp and Sertaç Buluttekin have applied to court for his release.
 
The application of the attorneys has noted that "Demirtaş was arrested as part of an investigation where he was not a suspect and within the scope of a file where he was already standing trial at the Ankara 19th Heavy Penal Court." Accordingly, the attorneys have requested "an end to his arrest that is violating his right to personal liberty and security" by taking the related Constitutional Court ruling in consideration.
 
BACKGROUND
 
In its ruling dated June 9, the Constitutional Court has concluded that the right to personal liberty and security of Selahattin Demirtaş guaranteed by the Article 19 of the Constitution has been violated as the period that he served behind bars as an arrestee exceeded reasonable duration.
