The attack on the "Labour, Democracy and Democracy" rally organised by Turkey’s trade unions and some political parties including the pro-Kurdish Democratic Peoples’ Party (HDP) has been the deadliest terror attack in the Turkey's history.
The lawyers of detained students said some students’ arms were broken during the violent attack by the police. Speaking to Sol News, families of some of the detained students said that their children did what all people should do and they would not get accustomed to the increasing police violence.
