Muhlise Karagüzel, who was arrested while she was serving as the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Muş Provincial co-chair and is currently held in Kayseri Women’s Closed Prison, has not been released for 2 years despite her serious illnesses.
Karagüzel, who was previously sentenced to 8 years and 1 month in prison, was handed down another sentence.
Muş 2nd High Criminal Court sentenced Karagüzel to 10 months in prison for “making propaganda for a terrorist organization”, citing her participation in the funeral of PKK member Kadri Çelik, who fell as a martyr in 2012.
