promotion on social media
At least 33 people were arrested across Turkey on Tuesday for suspected promotion of the PYD/PKK terrorist group on their social media accounts, according to security officials.


On Sunday, investigations were launched by chief public prosecutor's offices in Ankara, Van, Diyarbakir, Mardin, Mus, and Istanbul against social media users who allegedly voiced support for the PYD/PKK terror group.

Seventeen were arrested in raids across three provinces in an operation coordinated by police in the western province of Izmir, an official said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media.

The provincial head of the opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Cerkez Aydemir was also arrested. He is accused of spreading terror propaganda.

Arrests came after the Izmir’s Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office launched an investigation into social media activity promoting the terrorist organization against Turkey’s ongoing military operation in Syria’s Afrin region.
