Police forces blocked a group of European politicians that came to Amed's Sur district for solidarity with residents amid ongoing demolition.

The delegation of European politicians includes parliamentarian Christian Juhl, Copenhagen Municipal Council member Ninna Hedeager Olsen, Viborg Municipal Council members Flemming Gundersen and Pelle Andersen-Harild, Red–Green Alliance member Asbjørn Bang.

The European delegation came to Amed's Sur district today for solidarity with residents of Alipaşa and Lalebey neighborhoods where the state has started to demolish houses and cut off the water and power in an effort to force the people out of their homes.

Police blocked the delegation and seized their passports. The delegation members were kept restrained for a long while, after which they were released.
