Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office

Five police officers face from one to three years in prison each for cuffing a young boy under the age 18, who protested Turkey's top higher education body in Ankara with others in March this year.

Five suspects are accused of storming the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) headquarters in Ankara on Sept. 8, with four of them facing between six months and three years in prison. The other suspect accused of setting the building ablaze faces up 24 years in jail.

A military prosecutor's office has dismissed an investigation - publicly known as the "Cosmic Room" investigation - against eight suspects related to surveillance of a former colonel between late 2008 and late 2009, saying the surveillance activity was lawfully conducted upon a verbal order by a former head of the Turkish General Staff.

A former police intelligence chief is required to serve up to 860 years in prison in a wiretapping case, in which he has been found guilty of wiretapping 48 people, including several government officials, journalists, judiciary personnel and businessmen.  

Twenty-five people were detained out of the 34 people for whom warrants were issued by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on charges of illegal wiretapping early on May 11, Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
