NNA – Turkey on Tuesday detained at least 110 pro-Kurdish activists, journalists and lawyers in raids conducted just three weeks before a knife-edge vote that could extend President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s two-decade rule.
Police said their “counter-terror” operation was conducted simultaneously in 21 provinces, including Diyarbakir, the Kurdish minority’s unofficial capital in Turkey.
State media said police held people suspected of financing the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) or roping new members into the outlawed group. — AFP
