Why It Matters
After the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, Red Crescent's tent sales created a great public debate.
Following the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023 and caused destruction in 11 provinces, a lawsuit was filed against members of the LEFT Party for protesting against the Red Crescent, which was revealed to have sold the tents they had stocked to be used in case of disaster.
As a result of the decision filed against three party members, including Left Party MYK Member Kemal Koç, on the charge of "resisting the police" and approved by the Supreme Court, the sentence against Kemal Koç was finalized.
According to the SOL Party statement, Kemal Koç will remain in prison for one month due to the finalized conviction.
According to the statement, the trial of the case filed against 77 LEFT Party members selling tents on charges of "opposing meetings and demonstrations" continues.
In the statement of the SOL Party, it was said that we will not give up holding accountable those who dragged the country into disaster and plundered public resources created by people's taxes.
