A criminal complaint was filed about a racist group’s attack in İstanbul’s Kasımpaşa after a protest demonstration about the killing of a family in Konya. Journalists who were attacked, including Mezopotamya Agency (MA) reporter Muhammed Enes Sezgin and sendika.org reporter Ceylan Bulut, and Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) MP Musa Piroğlu made a press statement in front of the İstanbul Office of the Human Rights Association (İHD), opening banners that read “We will not give up on writing the truth”, and protested police violence and impunity for violence (August 5).
