DEMONSTRATIONS continued for a fourth day today against the detention of more than 80 Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) politicians and supporters in Turkey.
The public prosecutor extended their detention period today after bringing them to court in the Turkish capital Ankara, amid warnings of a “political genocide” against the party.
Eighty-two HDP members were arrested last week, along with lawyers, journalists and other opposition supporters, in one of the biggest operations against the party in recent years.
