Opposition youth arrested after being called out by Erdoğan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has turned his country into a large prison for the opposition, and instead of running the country through a government, he runs it as a “mafia gang.”

Arrest campaigns against Erdogan’s opponents in Turkey continue under the guise of “terrorism”, the latest of which was the arrest of 450 people, in police operations in 37 Turkish cities, February 2020, targeting members and supporters of the Kurdistan Workers Party and Kurdistan Communities Union.

The Erdogan government, the Kurdistan Workers Party and the Kurdistan Communities Union, is considered a terrorist group, and is conducting arrests campaigns among its members in Turkey, in addition to operations in their areas of concentration with Syria.

The leader of the Turkish opposition, and the head of the opposition Turkish Republican People’s Party, Kemaloglu, has many criticisms of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regarding Turkey’s foreign policy, but this opposition deals with Erdogan in terms of the terrorist threat.

The leader of the Turkish opposition says: The policies of the ruling Justice and Development Party in Libya are wrong: “I also said my thoughts on the issue of Libya, and that sending soldiers is wrong. The dominant forces do not hold fire in their hands, but they are used as forceps, they are angry at Assad, and they use us as forceps, and now they want us to We catch fire in Libya, because the United Nations has peacekeepers, and no one was an enemy of Turkey, and our word had its weight in the region, but now we have become a party. ”

But these statements, which put Erdogan in front of his people in a wave of accusation of engaging Turkey in a conflict that creates him, with its support for armed militias in Libya, against the national forces, to achieve his personal ambitions, opened Erdogan’s appetite for “the arrest of opponents and everyone who adopts the oglu thought.”

Erdogan’s violations against opponents are not new, but their rates have increased over the years, and with time, their brutality and extremism have increased, affecting opinion writers, journalists, and jurists.

Two years ago, Turkish journalist Jan Dundar described his country as being a large prison for journalists by Erdogan, and that there is no place for a free press in it because of the repressive policies pursued by the regime.

Erdogan over the past years launched a massive revenge campaign in various parts of the country with the aim of getting rid of all those opposed to his policies; Where he arrested and dismissed thousands of military, police and judicial officials, laid off tens of thousands of workers in various Turkish institutions and closed a large number of media outlets, leading to the imposition of a state of emergency in the country.

“Turkey in the shadow of Erdogan is the worst prison in the world for journalists,” Dundar told France Press. “There are about 155 journalists inside prisons, while others live in fear because everything they can write may turn into a weapon against them.” For free media in Turkey. ”

He added: “Just a tweet on Twitter that could lead to the imprisonment of its owner and that self-censorship is present even inside the homes” because of fear of Erdogan’s actions and practices.

Dundar called for Erdogan’s trial on charges of corruption and violation of human rights and international laws; Considering that “Erdogan has become the army, power and ruler.”
