In Turkey, the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party, known as the HDP, says 20 of its offices, including its headquarters, were attacked over the weekend in the latest crackdown against the country’s third-largest political party. The HDP says its district and city offices were burned and vandalized and that in at least one city, the fire department refused to put out the flames. The attacks came the same day 13 Turkish soldiers were killed in a car bombing attack targeting off-duty soldiers. Turkish authorities blamed the car bombing on Kurdish militants.
