Basak Demirtas with her husband Selahattin
BASAK DEMIRTAS, who is married to jailed former Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) co-chairman Selahattin Demirtas, has been sentenced to more than two years in a Turkish prison on bogus charges.
Ms Demirtas and her doctor each received two years and six months from a court in the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir on Thursday for “receiving a medical report contrary to facts.”
This relates to serious health problems that she suffered following a miscarriage in 2015.
