Raids on 24 addresses across Istanbul early Friday led to the arrest of 12 suspected members of the PKK terrorist organization and its youth wing, police said.
Counter-terrorist officers carried out simultaneous dawn raids in Esenyurt, Beylikduzu, Basaksehir and Buyukcekmece districts.
The suspects, who are suspected of membership of the PKK or Patriotic Revolutionist Youth Movement (YDG-H), were taken to the city’s police headquarters following health checks.
There have been many arrests across Turkey since the July 20 Suruc suicide bombing that killed dozens of people; most of the suspects detained have alleged links to terrorist groups PKK, KCK, YDG-H, Daesh as well as the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front.
