The house of Abdullah Efe, director of the Democratic Kurdish Community Centre in Hannover, Germany, was raided by police. 

Efe, who was taken into police custody, was subjected to the police 'forensic criminal' treatment.

The German state, that is trying to improve its relations with Erdoğan’s regime, has intensified attacks on Kurds in Germany after the elections in Turkey on 24 June. 

German police raided the Democratic Kurdish Community Centre in Bielefeld on Tuesday and also the house of Kurdish politician Abdullah Efe in Hannover.

Efe had tried to mediate between the police and Kurds after the demonstrations in Hannover and ended up being forcibly taken into the police station. 

Efe, who has been subjected to the violence of the police, told ANF he had been faced with "judicial criminal" procedure.

Efe stated that police wanted to strip search him after taking his fingerprint and his photograph. He said he refused to be strip searched. 

Reminding that he has been the coordinator of the Democratic Kurdish Community Centre in Hannover for many years, Efe said: "Despite the fact that the police know me well because of my duty, they tried to force me to the police station and criminalize me. They did this because they did not have any court decisions in their hands, just to get a fingerprint. Then they released me".

Kurdish politician Abdullah Efe stated that the accusations directed against him are false. 

The Kurdish politician remarked that the German state has been trampling on fundamental rights such as freedom of opinion, right to organize and human rights for the sake of its commercial interests.

Noting that the German state has recently turned its attention to Kurdish institutions and politicians, Efe said: "The German state is doing all this to get a better relation with the AKP regime”. 

Efe then made a call: “Germany shows that it is in favor of the current Turkish dictator. But it is never too late to side with democracy”.
