Investigation against Demirtaş and other co-chairs
DİYARBAKIR (DİHA) - Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Diyarbakir has opened an investigation against the co-chairs of DTK, HDK, DBP and HDP who held a joint press conference in the city regarding the ongoing curfews and state terror.
The press conference was held on December 18 and attended by DTK (Democratic Society Congress) co-chairs Hatip Dicle and Selma Irmak, HDK (Peoples' Democratic Congress) co-spokesperson Ertuğrul Kürkçü, DBP (Party of Democratic Regions) co-chair Kamuran Yüksek, HDP (Peoples' Democratic Party) co-chairs Figen Yüksekdağ and Selahattin Demirtaş.
Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Diyarbakir has opened an investigation against the co-chairs of DTK, HDK, DBP and HDP with the claim of "calling on people to commit crimes".
HDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş said it was actually the state's helplessness to send 2 generals and 10 thousand soldiers to bomb Kurdish people and cities.
Demirtaş stressed that people in the areas under attack have no fear or panic, and are confronting the operations with resistance and determination to win. He said the followings addressing to AKP and Erdoğan; "You are bombing houses by tanks, spreading fabricated reports on TV channels that Kurds burn mosques. Half of Turkey might be supporting you, even if you engage in theft and corruption, but what about the other half? There are millions".
Demirtaş said it is the state atrocity and military operations that make people suffer problems, noting that the historical Kurşunlu Mosque in Amed was also set on fire by state forces.
Demirtaş called on everyone to provide any contribution they can to this struggle, at least to “pray for those resisting if there is nothing else to do, at least for the history to say that you sided with those who resisted”.
