The European Court of Human Rights ruled on Tuesday that Turkey’s arrest and pre-trial detention of Selahattin Demirtas, the former co-chair of pro-Kurdish Peoples Democratic Party (HDP), has constituted multiple rights violations and that Ankara should immediately release him.
The judgment was provided by the grand chamber of the court, whose decisions are final.
Demirtas has been in prison for four years on charges of terrorism, accusations of which range from propagating for the PKK militant group to instigating violence.
He has been tried by multiple courts on various crimes. Even though some courts have ordered his release, others continued to uphold their pre-trial detention orders. He could be sentenced to up to 142 years.

Turkey: Kavala Trial Underscores Government’s Assault on the Rule of Law
A prominent philanthropist and civic leader has been held in custody on unsubstantiated charges for over three years, and faces an even longer detention
because of judicial delays.
In response to an Istanbul court’s decision to postpone the first hearing of the trial of Osman Kavala, a philanthropist and civil society activist, and American scholar Henri J. Barkey, Freedom House issued the following statement:
“This delay is a tactic on the part of politicized Turkish courts to evade the rule of law,” said Marc Behrendt, Director for Europe and Eurasia Programs at Freedom House. “Osman Kavala has been held in pretrial detention for over three years without any credible evidence of having committed a crime. His case demonstrates the extent to which the government has weaponized the judiciary and stripped away the rule of law in Turkey. Kavala should be immediately released.”
