Members of the Kurdish music band Koma Hevra performed at a concert attended by thousands of people in Şêx Sêîd Square in Amed (Diyarbakır) on Sunday.

The musicians paid a solidarity visit to Mesopotamia Language and Culture Research Association (MED-DER) after the concert.

After leaving the association, members of the music band were intercepted by the police and detained.

The police stated that there was a detention warrant for Zeynep Doğan, Gencay Morkoç and Yusuf Keleş.

It is reported that the band members were taken to the Provincial Security Directorate and detained because of Kurdish songs they sang at the concert on Sunday.
