Fifteen people, detained in the fourth wave of police raids as a part of investigation into Gezi protests in four cities, have been sent to court in the Aegean province of İzmir.

Police detained the people on July 12 on charges of being members of terrorist organizations, damaging public property and establishments, and provoking society in an operation on 16 addresses in the İzmir Balıkesir, Manisa and Bursa provinces.

It is claimed that the detainees are members of the outlawed Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party Front (DHKP-C), and the Turkish Communist Workers Party (TKIP), the Turkish Communist Party - Marxist and Leninists (MLKP), and the Maoist Communist Party (MKP).
