In the Pendik district of Istanbul some unknown people attacked the HDP’s election office with petrol bombs, causing material damage as a small scale fire started after the attack. While the police started an investigation into the attack, the HDP executives said the attacks are carried out in an organised way as the street lights were not working in the last 10 days in the neighbourhood, adding that they were not fixed despite the warnings of HDP members.

A protest action will be held in front of the HDP Pendik office today.
