The Turkish regime's political extermination campaign against the Kurdish population and their elected representatives continues unabated.

Five people were taken into custody on October 19 in an operation carried out by the police and military forces in the İdil district of Şırnak province in line with an investigation launched by the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office in Siirt.

The detainees, who included HDP (Peoples’ Democratic Party) General Provincial Council Member Adnan Bel, were referred to Siirt Courthouse today.

All the five detainees were remanded in custody for “membership in a terrorist organization”, “aiding and abetting a terrorist organization” and “disseminating propaganda for a terrorist organization”.
