A few weeks before the early parliamentary and presidential elections on June 24, the HDP 's election campaign is in full swing despite all attacks. At the same time, however, the repression of the AKP against the entire opposition is on the increase. In Istanbul, two young people were arrested for painting the words "hope", "HDP" and a kettle on a wall. The kettle is a widespread ironic symbol of resistance, as during a cell search of presidential candidate Selahattin Demirtaş, even the kettle was searched for secret Internet receptions. The search sought to get to the bottom of the tweets that Demirtaş publishes despite his imprisonment and that his lawyers put online. The two Dev-Lis members were arrested at the HDP election office in Sultangazi on charges of "organizational propaganda."
