The 8th hearing of the trial of the People's Democratic Party (HDP) Derik Municipality Co-mayor Mülkiye Esmez, who was arrested on November 16, 2019, in Mardin by the decision of the Ministry of Interior, was held. Her lawyers were also present at the hearing, where Mülkiye was connected via Sound and Video Information System (SEGBİS).
