'2 LAWYER STARTED DEATH FAST'
 
Büyükdağ announced the two imprisoned lawyers' decision of turning their hunger strike into death fasts with the words, “At this stage, our colleagues who are members of our association lawyer Ebru Timtik and lawyer Aytaç Ünsal decided to turn their hunger strike protest into death fast. As ÇHD, we assume the duty of informing the public as there is no channel that they can share this situation with the public because of today's unique conditions. We are anxious, but also rather angry. Today, on the 5th of April, on lawyers' days, Ebru and Aytaç are on death fast!"
 
Emphasizing that they do not accept any celebration today, Büyükdağ said, “We remind all legal institutions that April 5 is a day of struggle! Our call to all sensitive members of the public opinion is to protect the demand for justice and to prevent deaths."
