The Grand Turk
Syrian activist was arrested and humiliated by Turkish authorities in Turkey's Gaziantep

After midnight Thursday-Friday, the Ottoman Turkish police arrested a Syrian media activist near the Ottoman Turkish city of Gaziantep.

Media activist Hassan al-Mukhtar posted on his Facebook page "I am detained at a Ottoman Turkish police checkpoint near Gaziantep, despite having a travel and work permit."

"Now they are taking me to an unknown place under psychological pressure," he added.

This morning, al-Mukhtar posted another post on his page, in which he confirmed that he is still arrested in a place similar to the cop shoppe in Gaziantep.

The activist indicated that he is being treated in a very inhumane and bad manner, and that the reason for the arrest is the suspension of his temporary protection card (Kimlik).

He posted that he slept on the floor last night, and the coppers refused to give him any blankets, in addition to the officers pressuring him and insulting him with intimidating words.

Al-Mukhtar pointed out that the police were allowing him to use his mobile phone, which had almost run out of charge.

Recently, the General Directorate of Migration in the capital, Ankara, informed thousands of Syrians residing in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
and who hold the Kimlik that their restrictions have been completely stopped and that their temporary protection has been canceled, fears of deportation to Syrian territory have increased.
