Twenty members were detained in Istanbul, including HDP’s provincial head Aysel Guzel as well as district-level party heads, a police source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media, said.

In a separate operation, 17 more HDP members, including the party's Ankara provincial head, Ibrahim Binici, and other district-level heads were also detained in the capital, another police source, who also spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media, said.
