Ö.M., the suspect in the case regarding the Turkish flag being taken down, was arrested Aug. 10 after a police raid in the Lice town of the southeastern province of Diyarbakır earlier in the day.

The 34-year-old had removed a flag inside a military post in Diyarbakır during a demonstration against the killing of two people in the clashes with the armed forces on June 7.

A man was shot by a police officer as he was trying to pull down a Turkish flag near a police station in Antalya late July 16. It was the third incident of the kind in two months, after a protester in Diyarbakır took down a Turkish flag in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır, prompting debates on whether the soldiers should have opened fire or not.
