Thus, the roads leading to the village where he was buried were blocked by police who prevented several groups of people – including MPs from the pro-Kurdish HDP party and people who claimed to be his relatives – from attending the funeral.
Videos posted on social networking sites and shown by Kurdish-language media show one of these groups being blocked by police.
Security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd, according to an AFP correspondent and footage from the scene. Water pressure was also used while some men, unhappy that they could not attend the funeral, responded by throwing stones.
In fact, information from international media reports that Turkish authorities did not want the burial to be considered an anti-government protest, as elections are approaching in Turkey and Erdogan’s party, which seeks self-reliance and has opposed the demands of the Kurds, does not want to “show tolerance to any circumstance”.
