Reactions are growing against the Turkish government’s crackdown on the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) after the latest wave of political genocide in which dozens of members, executives and elected representatives of the party, including former members of parliament and mayors, have been arrested throughout the country.

Turkey’s judiciary accuses the detainees of being responsible for demonstrations in October 2014 that were violently repressed and in which several people were killed by Turkish security forces. These demonstrations took place in solidarity with the people of Kobane in northern Syria, which was at that time under siege by ISIS.

Worldwide solidarity with the HDP against the political genocide operations of the Turkish regime continues growing. Below are latest messages of solidarity with the HDP.
