The Turkish police, who are not new to attacks against the People's Democratic Party (HDP) deputies, went a step further on Saturday.

On the anniversary of the appointment of a trustee to the Cizre Municipality, an extremely dangerous development involving a direct "death threat" took place during a press conference attended by HDP Deputies Hasan Özgüneş and Nuran İmir. During the press conference, held despite the police blockade, a bullet was fired at HDP Şırnak Deputy Hasan Özgüneş.

In the videos recorded, it is clearly seen that it was a police officer who fired the bullet against the HDP deputy.
