Move comes days after a top public prosecutor demanded the dissolution of the HDP, the third-largest party in Turkey.
Turkish police have detained several officials of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), as prosecutors increase the pressure on the country’s third-largest party, as well as the chief of a human rights group. A top public prosecutor on Wednesday demanded the dissolution of the left-wing opposition HDP over alleged links to Kurdish fighters. The move followed the expulsion of an HDP politician from parliament on the same day. Officers detained 10 people in Istanbul, including three HDP district chairs in the city, state news agency Anadolu reported on Friday, over suspected links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
