In a written statement, the People's United Revolutionary Movement (HBDH) Imran Storm Militia announced that they targeted state-backed drug dealers in Sultangazi, Istanbul.

The HBDH Imran Fırtına Militia statement released on Wednesday includes the following: 

“The fascist enemy is attacking the united revolution with chemical weapons and atrocious methods. It is also attacking the working class, the fundamental force of the revolution. The entire drug network is currently run by the ruling AKP and Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu. While these enemies of people subject our population to poverty, they are also trying to corrupt our people with drugs. The poverty and suffering of the people is increased in every way. Every single fascist party member is thus corrupted and hostile to the people.

Our militia is striking all these corrupt elements, collaborators, drug dealers that are conspiring against the united revolution. As part of our struggle, we have targeted drug dealers who cooperate with state officials in Istanbul/Sultangazi.

The HBDH Imran Fırtına Militia carried out a sabotage action against the ‘Bayraklar’ gang on the morning of October 24, targeting the storehouse used to stockpile drugs by a gang member who cooperates with state officials in the 50th Yıl District. As a result of our action, the storehouse was destroyed completely.

We will never allow corruption and collaboration. We will give no respite to these corrupt elements.”
