NEWS CENTER - On the 8th anniversary of the November 4 political coup against HDP MPs, trustees were appointed to 3 municipalities. 

The Ministry of Internal Affairs appointed trustees to Mêrdîn (Mardin) Metropolitan Municipality, Êlih (Batman) Municipality and Riha (Urfa)/Xelfetî (Halfeti) Municipality under the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) administration. The Ministry justified the trusteeship decision on the basis of the ongoing legal proceedings against the co-mayors of the municipalities.

On November 4, 2016, detention warrants were issued for 15 MPs, including former HDP Co-chairs Selahattin Demirtaş and Figen Yüksekdağ.

Demirtaş and Yüksekdağ and MPs İdris Baluken, Nursel Aydoğan, Leyla Birlik, Gülser Yıldırım, Selma Irmak, Abdullah Zeydan and Ferhat Encu were arrested. In the operations that continued afterwards, HDP Group Deputy Chair Çağlar Demirel and MP Besime Konca were detained and arrested on December 11, 2016 while leaving the Parliament.
