In Turkey, the two leaders and at least 10 other lawmakers were arrested from the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party, known as the HDP. The HDP is the third largest party in the Turkish Parliament. Social media was also reportedly shut down across the largely Kurdish southeast region of Turkey. This comes amid a widening crackdown in Turkey–less than a week ago, the Turkish government fired 10,000 civil servants, ordered 15 mostly Kurdish news outlets to shut down, and raided the offices and detained a dozen journalists from the award-winning Cumhuriyet newspaper on terrorism charges.
