In Ankara, a trial is being held at the 12th High Criminal Court concerning an officer who died following an altercation at a vehicle inspection station. During the hearing, witnesses provided testimony regarding the circumstances of the incident, including reports of emotional outbursts and shouting. The prosecutor has requested the continued detention of the defendant, and the court has adjourned the case until December 8.
