In the Beytüşşebap district in the southeastern province of Şırnak, special operations police conducted multiple simultaneous raids.

Five people, including Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP)'s local district co-chair Zarife Borak and district manager Emrah Yacan, have been apprehended during house searches and taken to the police department, as reported by Mezopotamya Agency (MA).

In recent months, crackdowns on Kurdish-linked groups have intensified, leading to numerous arrests of politicians, lawyers, and journalists. (AS/WM)
