Co-mayors of Hakkari Municipality went to the courthouse today for a talk with the public prosecutor regarding the raid operation conducted by police in their houses three days ago.

Co-mayors Dilek Hatipoğlu and Nurullah Çiftçi, who were not found home during the raids, were accompanied by representatives of many NGOs supporting them at the courthouse.

While police and special operation teams took intense 'security' measures around the area, co-mayors were detained by police and taken to Hakkari Police Headquarters upon an order by the governor.

In the meantime, detention operations in the city are also going on. A 22-year-old youth by the name of Kadir Saklı was detained in city center and taken to police HQ today.
