Turkish police deletes documented scenes of the attack on the Peoples’ Democratic Party office

The Turkish newspaper, Zaman, revealed that the Turkish regime’s police deleted the surveillance camera recordings that documented the armed attack on the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which took place last Thursday, in which a female employee was killed.

According to the testimonies of the shop owners at the site of the accident, the policemen came to their workplaces in the morning and deleted the cameras’ recordings after taking a copy of them without providing them with any legal justification.

An employee of the (HDP), Deniz Poyraz, was killed after a gunman stormed the party’s office in Izmir last Thursday and fired shots before trying to set the office on fire.

In a statement published on its website, the HDP accused the government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Minister of the Interior of targeting the party and inciting such attacks.

The HDP, the second-largest opposition party in the Turkish Parliament, occupies 55 of the parliament’s 600 seats. The party is facing a widespread government crackdown in which thousands of pro-party activists along with former deputies and leaders have been imprisoned.
