13 youngsters were taken into custody in Amed (Diyarbakır) on Friday in an operation conducted by police teams from Diyarbakır Security Directorate.

The operation was based on the allegations that a new youth organisation named “YNCK” would be established and carry out actions in the central Sur district on 29 October, the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the republic.

The detainees are accused of alleged membership in the organisation. They have been taken to the provincial police department.
