Peace Mothers Fatma Gün, Emine Tekmenuray, Zekiye Alak, Hülya Ayık, Hüzna Göksel, Ayşe Arslan, Valide Kaplan and Emine Arslan were taken into custody on Thursday morning by an order of the Antalya Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on the charge of "financing an illegal organization". Eight Peace Mothers, who were accused of sending money to prisoners, were referred to the courthouse after their statements at the Antalya Police Department, and were released.

The Greens and Left Future Party (Green Left Party) and Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Antalya Provincial Organizations made a press statement on the subject in front of the Attalos Statue.

HDP Antalya Provincial co-chair Hülya Hasbay reacted to the detention of the Peace Mothers and said: "This policy of oppression will never intimidate women or our party."

Saying that they will fight against the "hostile attitude", Hasbay added: "Neither the government attacks against our party nor the government's reactionary fascist alliance will intimidate us. We do not remain silent today. We will not remain silent tomorrow. Wherever we are, we stand up for our party and the prisoners' relatives against this repressive regime. "
