Thirteen suspects in Turkey’s Adana have been sent to court over accusations of provoking riots through their social media posts, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
The suspects were accused of provoking protesters through posts on Twitter and Facebook during the Gezi Park protests in Ankara, and of organizing crowds to cause damage to their surroundings and throw stones at the police forces.
The suspects were detained on June 10 and were sent to court following medical examinations.
Investigations continue on the matter.
Adana locals witnessed police intervention overnight as protesters attempted to march towards the Akkapu district, but faced police opposition on the way. Forces used TOMA vehicles and tear gas to disperse the crowds.
