We once again state that they cannot discourage us with these methods.”

Acar stated that six of his friends were kidnapped and tortured in Amed in the last 15 days, "Finally, at 12 pm on Monday, our Youth Assembly member Çekdar Aksucu was stopped and checked while he was leaving our Yenişehir district organization and then forced into a black Renault car for half an hour. He was subjected to psychological torture and offered to become an informer.”
