The Turkish authorities have been going against the Social -Democratic Republican People’s Party (CHP) for months. More than a dozen mayor of the opposition party is already in custody. Now, apparently, an arrest warrant has also been published against the regional chairman of the CHP in Istanbul.
As the Omroep Habertürk reported on Tuesday, Özgür Celik must be questioned by the police. According to the indictment, the arrest warrant is about investigations into party -international elections. It was previously known that the Turkish Ministry of the Interior sold the CHP mayor of Antalya.
Hundreds of CHP members are the target of the researchers
Hundreds of CHP have been the target of the judiciary since October last year. The accused reject the accusations against them. The CHP describes the investigation as a politically motivated that the government denies.
The greatest protests caused the detention of the mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu in March. He is in custody for accusations of corruption. In the case of the mayor of the great cities of Antalya, Adana and Adiyaman, according to the public prosecutor, the accusation of blackmail is also in the Chamber.
The government emphasizes: Justice is independent
The secular WKK came from the national local elections last year as the strongest power, which was considered a memo for President Erdogan. The CHP described recent arrests as “murder of the judiciary”. The aim of suppressing the party with the help of the judiciary and the voters robs their will, said it in a statement from the provincial presidents. For years, the Turkish judiciary has been criticized to act politically to act and investigate investigations against opposition politicians. The Islamic conservative government rejects this and claims that the judiciary is independent.
