Defend Democracy in Turkey as Dictator Erdogan & AKP Attempt to Destroy all Opposition including HDP, Trade Unions, Women's organisations, Media and NGOs! Unite on this Day of Action to 'Defend Democracy in Turkey'.

In Turkey on 7 June 2015, the Peoples’ Democratic Party, HDP received more than 6 million votes across the political and cultural spectrum and prevented the governing AK Party from gaining a majority. This prevented Erdogan from creating an executive presidential system. Since then Erdogan has unilaterally ended negotiations for a political resolution to the Kurdish question, and the Turkish state have declared war on all progressive opposition forces united under the umbrella of the HDP.
