More than 60 Kurdish activists put in custody this week
BDP co-vice president Fatma Kurtulan in custody
32 Pro-Kurdish activists have been arrested in association with KCK (Kurdish Communities Union) in Turkey. BDP co-vice president Fatma Kurtulan, and BDP executive Tuncer Bakirhan are among those in police custody. Several journalists and Human Rights campaigners were among those taken into custody earlier this morning.
Selahattin Demirtaş (BDP Co-Chair) said the raids “are immoral attacks against Kurds”. On the 10th of January, 20 people were taken into police custody in the south-eastern province of Sirnak in association with KCK, and on the 7th of January 11 people were arrested in Istanbul.
Comments
Why is the rest of the world so reluctant to act against what is currently going on. Is the world waiting for another mass genocide before they are willing to speak up. Freedon of thought, expression and voice is the birthright of all people, no matter what race, ethnic group, or religion. What has happened to humanity, have we learned nothing from the past.
