Former co-chair of Turkey's People’s Democratic Party Figen Yuksekdag
FORMER Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) leader Figen Yuksekdag said the organisation would be reborn as “the will of the people’s peace” against the Turkish state and the politics of war.
She was speaking to the Mesopotamia News Agency from her Kandira F-type prison cell where she has been held since she was detained with 10 other parliamentarians, including fellow co-chair Selahattin Demirtas in November 2016.
Ms Yuksekdag warned that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was trying to shut down any opposition to his war on the Kurds which is currently raging in northern Syria, as well as domestically.
