Tevgera Azadî co-chair Şîlan Şakir has been detained by KDP security forces in Zaxo in Southern Kurdistan.

Tevgera Azadî Spokesperson Tara Hisên issued a written statement on the detention of Şilan Şakir and said:

“Şilan Şakir has been detained by KDP security forces last night at around 22.00 without a court-ordered arrest warrant as she was visiting Zaxo.
