In the case against Victory Party leader Ümit Özdağ, filed on a complaint by former Welfare Party MP Şevki Yılmaz, the court adjourned the hearing to 4 November over a possible change of the charge from "threat" to "insult".

Defending himself at the hearing, Özdağ said, "What I will show is not physical violence, but a document of information." Özdağ also said the prosecutor had sought his punishment under Article 106/3 of the Turkish Penal Code.
