Dear Selahattin Demirtaş,
As a criminal lawyer, to make an evaluation of your verdict in your context is not easy. This despite the fact that you are one of the most competent individuals to do this, while making people smile and think at the same time. Isn't the main or even the sole reason of your ongoing detention since November 4, 2016, about the content and form of your possible assessments in the parliament, party group meetings, rallies, on the radio and television and thus your utmost ability to wear out the current government?
