Police detain 70 HDP members, administrators in İstanbul

Seventy members and administrators from the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) were detained in İstanbul on Monday following raids on their homes.

After İstanbul prosecutors issued detention warrants for 104 HDP members and administrators, police teams on Monday conducted raids in 104 locations and detained as many as 70 people.

Special forces units and helicopters assisted the police officers during the raids.

It was not immediately clear on what charges the HDP members and administrators were detained, but recently many party officials have been detained on terrorism charges.
