	TEKE: THIS IS TYRANNY

	 

	Teke's mother Nezahat Teke, stated that her son goes to highschool and he must be attending class right now. Mother Teke, telling about the raid, said: "The door bell rang. Because they usually break down our door in police raids, we were surprised that they rang the bell this time. They came while my son was about to go to school. They held a gun to his head and laid him on the floor the minute he opened the door. I told them my son is 17 but they held him there anyway. I tried to stop them. They took him to kitchen when I intervened. They did not tell us why they were taking him into custody. They searched the house, scatter our stuff around. I had my grandson over for the night. They held a gun to his head too. He is 3 years old. They took my son and his phone and left."

	 

	Mother Teke demanding his son's immediate release, said: "My son is a student. This is tyranny. What can a child do that is so wrong? I do not accept this persecution."

	 

	Tirej Teke's brother Mazlum Teke is a political prisoner and his father Mehmet Şah Teke have gone to Europe with the same reason.
