Turkish state forces raided many houses in Amed (Diyarbakır) in the morning hours as part of a political genocide operation and detained at least 15 people. It is reported that the raids were carried out with the arbitrary and systematic accusation of ‘making propaganda for an illegal organisation’.

On the other hand, Turkish forces raided a house in the rural neighbourhood of Hisarcik (Qalik) in Darende district of Malatya based on an investigation conducted by Darende Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

The Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) district co-chair Süleyman Bozkurt (76) was taken into custody.

Bozkurt was taken to Darende District Security Directorate without the reason for his detention being disclosed.
