32 HDP mayors removed, 23 detained in Turkey since last election: survey
2020-01-23
[Rudaw] The Ottoman Turkish government’s latest crackdown on the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) has led to the removal of 32 mayors and detention of 23 others who were elected in last year’s local elections, according to a survey published by the party.

A survey published to Twitter shows that 32 of their municipalities have been "confiscated," referring to the removal of their mayors.

23 co-mayors have been detained as "political hostages," it added.
