Presiding judge of the İstanbul 14th High Criminal Court, Rüstem Eryılmaz has been detained in the framework of the investigation against Gülen supporters.

Upon the warrant granted by Turkey’s  Bakırköy and Urfa courts, Manisa state Salihli district police have detained the judge, who is notorious for the ruling in the case related to the assassination of Istanbul-based Armenian journalist Hrant Dink. The detained judge is accused of being a member of the terrorist institution.

The decision of the aforementioned judge was overruled, and a new litigation is currently underway.
