Protesting the Dicle Electricity Distribution Inc. (DEDAŞ) over constant power cuts and high electricity bills, 18 farmers have been taken into custody by the gendarmerie in Turkey’s southeastern province of Urfa.

In a Parliamentary question, HDP MP Dündar says, “The statement regarding an imminent return to face-to-face education has caused concerns among thousands of parents, students, teachers in Mardin, where the number of cases is extremely high.”

Power is out in Mardin very often. No matter winter or summer, it is sometimes not back on for hours and hours. And people really panic when power is out. Because they are afraid that they cannot meet their needs.

Many people don't cultivate their lands due to electricity debts that are caused by "arbitrary and illegal" power cuts by the region's energy company, according to farmers.
