ANKARA - Critisizing the police intervention against the 'Peace Chain' event to be held on September 1 World Peace Day, HDP MP Filiz Kerestecioğlu stated that the police trampled a 65 year old party assembly member, Aydın Erdoğan.
 
Ankara Labour, Peace and Democracy Forces protested the police intervention against the 'Peace Chain' event organized by the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) to be held in front of the Ankara Train Station where 103 people were killed as a result of an ISIS bomb attack, with a press release.  HDP Vice President Tuncer Bakırhan, MPs Filiz Kerestecioğlu, Habip Eksik and Abdullah Koç, as well as representatives of HDP component political parties, Party Assembly (PM) members, Central Executive Board (MYK) members and many party members attended the press release.
 
Stating that they wanted to commemorate the 103 people killed in the bomb attack on October 10, 2015 at the Ankara Train Station, HDP Ankara Provincial Co-Chair Pakize Sinemillioğlu stated that the police stopped the event from happening and have been pressuring HDP for a long while. Sinemillioğlu said: "They attacked us viciously while we were waiting at the train station. It is a shame that the members of a party that gets the votes of millions of people to be attacked and squizzed into party buildings. Everyone will need justice and peace one day. These people will go. We are here to stay."
 
HDP MP Filiz Kerestecioğlu said: "“It is a shame of this state that so many people were slaughtered in the middle of the capital city in front of that train station. We are living under fascism. We know that the pawns of this tyrant government will not last forever. We don't have guns, or batons as they do. The police are hitting people with their police radios. One of them trampled our 65 year old party assembly member. We are so upset that people are extremely unhappy in this country. We except the forces of opposition joins the struggle."
 
Stating that they will file a criminal complaint about the police that attacked the event, Kerestecioğlu critisized AKP Chair and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for the rally in Giresun. Kerestecioğlu said: "They endanger public health. They violate our right to peaceful assembly and demonstration. I call the Minister of Justice to duty. People are thirsty for justice, do not remain silent anymore. The real opposition party in this country is the HDP, and it will continue to be so."
