As the votes of Kurds become increasingly significant in determining the İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, anonymous leaflets have begun to be distributed in districts where the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party did not nominate candidates, disparaging CHP candidates to the Kurdish electorate.

600 policemen have attacked 6 activists who walked from the southern province to Istanbul in order to protest police violence and demand for justice, Ahmet Saymadi said. According to BDP deputy Ertuğrul Kürkçü, police sprayed pepper gas from close distance, leaving him injured.
