In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 11, insert the following sentences:
"The Assembly deplores that these detentions have suspended the practical exercise of local democracy in that region, led to a disproportionate supervision of local administrations through the appointment of trustees and reduced local public services, in contravention of the European Charter of Local Self-Government. The Assembly urges the Turkish authorities to release, where appropriate, the mayors currently in pre-trial detention and fully restore local democracy in southeast Turkey, in line with Resolution 416 (2017) and Recommendation 397 (2017) of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities."
