Special operation police forces raided the building where offices of DİHA, Azadiye Welat, Aram Publications and KURDİ-DER are located in Amed. 32 people, including the workers of all the institutions raided in the armed operation, have been taken into custody on the grounds of “reasonable doubt”.

The detainees were taken to the ground floor of the building where they were subject to violence, while their identity cards and mobile phones were also seized. Those detained in the armed operation were later taken to Diyarbakır Police Headquarters.

It is reported that police had no search warrant or an official document for the raid.

Since the implementation of the war concept by AKP, DIHA (Dicle News Agency) has been censored 20 times.

Armored police vehicles had been waiting outside the building for days.
