The Turkish regime’s political genocide against the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) continues increasingly.

This week alone, well over 700 people associated with the HDP have been arrested in Northern Kurdistan and Turkey.

As part of the country-wide operations carried out at the 22nd anniversary of the 15 February 1999 international conspiracy against Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan, 8 administrators and members of the HDP were taken into custody in Yalova province.

The detained party members were referred to court after procedures at the police department and the prosecutor’s office. 5 of them were remanded in custody and 3 others released on condition of judicial control.
