Police block access to opposition CHP's Istanbul headquarters after court ruling

2025-09-08

More Turkish harassment of the non-violent Kurds. And then they go after the remainder for being violent, because the real issue is that the Kurds are having more babies despite President Erdogan’s best efforts to encourage his people.

[TurkiyeToday] Police established a security perimeter around the Republican People's Party (CHP) Istanbul headquarters on Sunday night after a court temporarily removed the party's elected local leadership and appointed interim administrators, leading to gatherings by party members and exchanges between government officials and CHP leaders.

The standoff began when Istanbul's 45th Civil Court of First Instance issued a ruling on Tuesday that temporarily removed CHP Istanbul Chairman Ozgur Celik and the party's local boards from office, appointing a temporary committee in their place following allegations of irregularities during the party's Istanbul congress.

Two members of the court-appointed committee, Hasan Babacan and Mujdat Gurbuz, subsequently resigned from their positions.

Gursel Tekin, the selected CHP Istanbul Chairman, announced he would enter the party building on Monday, while the removed chairman Celik remained in the chairman's office on Sunday, posting on social media: "We will protect our people's house."
