Pakistan: Turkish school staff ordered to leave country in 75 hours

TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued his crackdown on political opponents yesterday — at home and abroad.

Police raided homes and council buildings in the provincial capitals of Tuncelli and Siirt in the majority Kurdish south-east yesterday morning.

They arrested mayors and councillors along with officials of pro-Kurdish parties, including the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) whose co-chairs are under arrest along with nine of its other MPs.
