A Turkish court on Friday refused to release academic Nuriye Gülmen who has been on hunger strike for months to protest about losing her job in the government's purge since a failed coup attempt last year.
Literature professor Gülmen, 35, could not attend the hearing for health reasons. The next trial is going to be held on November 27.
The court had ruled one of the hunger-striking teachers, Semih Özakça, would be held under house arrest following five months in prison.
In his first speech after the trial, Semih Özakça said: "we won, we will win".
Primary school teacher Semih Özakça and academic Nuriye Gülmen have been on hunger strike over their sacking by government decree under the state of emergency imposed after last year's attempted overthrow of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
They have been surviving on salted or sugared water, herbal teas and vitamin B1, and doctors have described their condition as "dangerously weak."
After their dismissal in late 2016, Gülmen and Özakça protested daily in central Ankara, then began a hunger strike on March 9. They were detained in May over alleged links to the militant leftist DHKP-C group, deemed a terrorist organisation by Turkey. The Turkish government targeted them because of their protest and hunger strike.
