British-based Kurds demand action after attack of author on ‘Erdogan hit list’
Gokhan Yavuzel
BRITISH-BASED Kurdish organisations have called on the government to urgently investigate Turkish ultranationalist political activity and violence after an author was attacked in Wales.
Gokhan Yavuzel was assaulted by a mob on Tuesday, soon after his name appeared on a hit list of critics of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
He was knocked unconscious during the attack, which he said was carried out by four people swearing at him in Turkish.
