8 detained in police attack on demo against crackdown on NGOs after earthquake
The state repression against non-governmental organizations continues increasingly in the aftermath of the 6 February earthquake that devastated parts of ten cities.
The police attacked members of the Halkevleri (People’s Houses) who gathered in Istanbul on Wednesday to make a press statement in protest at the police crackdown on the solidarity networks established by non-governmental organizations in the earthquake-hit cities.
The police detained eight activists after a violent intervention and prevented journalists from covering the crackdown.
