Summary
Nur worked nonstop with reporters in the southeast throughout 2015 and 2016 on the refugee crisis, the collapsing Kurdish peace process, and legal attacks on the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) that the government opportunistically redoubled after July 15th. The party had nothing to do with the coup attempt, but the government ramped up plans already under way to prosecute HDP lawmakers under anti-terrorism laws. Erdoğan used state of emergency powers to replace democratically elected HDP mayors with state-appointed “trustees,” much as his prosecutors had forced opposition media outlets into trusteeship.
