Eighteen people detained in Bingöl
Eighteen people, including women, have been detained in the province of Bingöl in connection with the Turkish regime’s never-ending political extermination campaign against the Kurdish population.
At least eighteen people were taken into custody in the province of Bingöl on Tuesday, including several women. In a large-scale operation, the police stormed numerous homes in the city centre, as well as in the districts of Genç, Karlıova and Solhan and carried out meticulous searches.
The operation was conducted under the label of "counterterrorism". The investigation file is currently being kept secret and those affected will be denied access to lawyers for the first 24 hours.
All those taken into custody are being held at Bingöl police headquarters. Among them is Übeyid Özer, who is co-chair of the district association of the HEDEP in Solhan.
