According to the Zoom Medya agency, the KDP abducted a journalist, a cameraman and a driver accompanying them while they were reporting on the Turkish military deployment in Amadiya in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The Turkish army is stepping up its occupation attacks and, with the help of the KDP, the ruling party in southern Kurdistan, is moving as if it were on its own territory. Turkish military personnel are carrying out identity checks and driving out the villagers.
While the KDP obviously wants to prevent reporting on the increasing Turkish military activity in the region, what happened to the Zoom Medya team is still unknown. The KDP government acts in a dictatorial manner and, similar to its model in Ankara, repeatedly has journalists arrested or abducted.
