Turkey Service – Fayek Özgür Erol, a member of the İmralı Democrat Party's board, said that the implementation of the framework law could lead to the release of thousands of prisoners and the suspension of 75-80 thousand investigative and judicial cases. He called the exclusion of Abdullah Öcalan and a number of others from the law's scope an "unfair restriction" and expressed hope that the Supreme Executive Board would include them in the law during periodic assessments.
