As part of the Amed-based investigation carried out on Tuesday, at least 126 people, including many journalists, politicians, lawyers, union leaders and artists, were taken into custody following house raids in 21 provinces. Among those detained was Halise Aksoy, the mother of martyr Agit Ipek, whose remains were delivered to the family by post. Agit Ipek had fallen a martyr in clashes with the Turkish army in Dersim.

Halise Aksoy's house in Amed was among those raided on Tuesday morning. Aksoy was later detained and taken to the Provincial Security Directorate. Simultaneously, the police raided the house of Aksoy's daughter, Mizgin Karataş, and detained her and her husband, Harun Karataş. The 4-year-old child of the Karataş was also taken to the police station. The child, who was kept there all day, was eventually handed over to his relatives in the evening.
