Detention challenges rejected for nine trans women in Türkiye

Pembe Hayat says the women remain in pretrial detention after an October police operation led by Ankara prosecutors.

Nine trans women remain in pretrial detention in Türkiye after challenges brought by their lawyers were rejected, the trans rights group Pembe Hayat reported on 11 November.

Police took the women into custody on 23 October in an operation led by Ankara prosecutors that spanned seven provinces. The nine were placed in pretrial detention on 26 October. Pembe Hayat’s latest account gave no date for the decisions on their challenges.

The women’s case is separate from the Ankara proceedings involving Kaos GL. Three members of that association’s supervisory board were ordered released on 11 November.
