	14 of the 134 people detained in the operation carried out in 21 cities on April 25, whose police statements were completed, were referred to Diyarbakır Courthouse within the scope of the investigation carried out by the Diyarbakır Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

	Underlining that the operation is related to the election, Eren said: “Judicial authorities also became partners in this operation. This party, Kurdish people are not the people who will bow to any operation against them. The detention of human rights representatives and lawyers, who will take part in the healthy and democratic elections, is an election operation. We expect our friends to be released as soon as possible. We hereby state that we are in solidarity with them."
