The Democratic People's Party’s presidential candidate Salah al-Din Demirtash went out wearing dark clothes in a pre-recorded speech by TRT state television channel from his prison in the north-west Aderna region after the Turkish authorities prevented him from going to the channel’s center in Ankara.

He said, "What we are going through is only one chapter of the one-man regime," adding that the horrific part of the film has not begun yet.

Demirtash said that he would soon be exonerated of all charges against him, stressing that he was not the only victim of lawlessness.

Demirtash told the Turkish people, "You are the victim of this persecution in your daily life."
