Turkish Police Storm Opposition Party HQ, Fire Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets at Supporters

Erdogan is moving against opponents.

Today (24), Turkish Police stormed the offices of the country’s main opposition CHP party.

The shock troops fired tear gas and rubber bullets at party supporters and officials hiding inside for the last three days.

Associated Press reported:

“It was a violent end to a standoff between members of the Republican Peoples’ Party, or CHP, and a leadership team appointed by an appeals court.

Footage taken by local media Sunday in the courtyard and inside the building showed clouds of tear gas as riot police stormed through the premises, before journalists were removed by the police. Supporters initially attempted to resist the police by spraying them with fire extinguishers, but were quickly stopped. Doors, furniture and the ground floor windows were destroyed.”
