Trustee politics must be put an end

Trustee politics of the political power endangers the recently initiated solution discussions. The initial detention of elected mayors on fabric offences and the subsequent appointment of trustees has now turned into a government practice. It is known that the politics of trustees is a result of pro-security policies in the Kurdish issue. The detention of the co-mayors of the Akdeniz Municipality and four members of the Municipal Council, while the recent discussions on peace and solution that have created excitement in the society, have led to a decrease in the hopes for peace and solution and have put the process in danger.

As human rights defenders, we once again urge the government and authorities to abandon the trustee politics and pro-security policies.

In order for the initiated process to move forward in good health, we ask that the reassuring steps be taken as soon as possible and that the abandonment of the trustee politics be announced to the public.
