As the Turkish state's all-out war against the Kurdish people is going on increasingly, politicians defending Kurdish rights continue to be targeted as well.

HDP co-chair Figen Yüksekdağ's official car was stopped by armed special operation police teams while on her way back from the congress of HDP Sultangazi district branch in Istanbul.

Police stopped the car outside the former station in Gazi neighborhood by using a service pistol, upon which Yüksekdağ's driver said “It is HDP co-chair”. Yet, police utter threats “This is Gazi. We do allow who will enter and exit it”.

Yüksekdağ's car left the neighborhood following a short quarrel here.
