Police kidnap Kurdish filmmaker Suphi Orhan and torture him for hours in Izmir

People who introduced themselves as intelligence officers kidnapped Kurdish filmmaker Suphi Orhan and tortured him for hours.

Kurdish Filmmaker Suphi Orhan, who could not be heard from after leaving Adnan Menderes Airport on Thursday, has been found.

After dropping a musician friend off at Adnan Menderes Airport in Izmir at 8.30 am on Thursday, Orhan was detained by people who introduced themselves as intelligence officers.

Orhan was left by these alleged intelligence officers at the Akçaköy stop in Menderes district at around 2 am on Friday. Orhan reached out to his family and told them that these people tortured him for hours and therefore had difficulty in speaking, and asked lawyers to go to see him.

Lawyers applied to the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (TIHV) after collecting Orhan. Lawyers will file a criminal complaint.
