Armed attack against New Generation Movement

Offices of the New Generation Movement in Sulaymaniyah were attacked with guns. New Generation Movement Council Member Şadî Newzad said, “The police did not respond at all.”

Offices of the New Generation Movement in Sulaymaniyah were attacked last night at 22:50 by unknown persons. The armed attackers drove past the offices and shot 5 rounds into the building. There were no casualties as the offices were empty at the time, but the building was damaged. The Sulaymaniyah Police has launched an investigation to capture the attackers.

“POLICE DID NOT RESPOND”

New Generation Movement Council Member Şadî Newzad said the offices that were attacked are located between two police checkpoints but that the police did not respond at all after the attack.

Newzad said their offices in Sulaymaniyah were attacked after the offices in Hewler were shut down due to another attack: “It is clear that the attacks are deliberately against us. This casts a shadow over the recounting of the votes by hand as well. This threat is due to the rise in our vote. We demand the perpetrators be caught at once.”
