Turkey's Human Rights Association

Turkish police detained three top district officials of the opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) among 35 people in an operation, state media said on March 19, after a court case was opened to close down the HDP.

Turkey's Human Rights Association (İHD) and human rights activists have urged Justice Ministry to take an action regarding jailed trans women Buse, who has been on hunger strike for 31 days because her demand for gender affirmation surgery was denied by prison authorities.
