HDP co-chairs and some parliamentary candidates started the official election campaigns from Edirne prison, where Presidenal Candidate Selahattin Demirtaş is held. Co-chairs Sezai Temelli and Pervin Buldan's appeal to visit Demirtaş was rejected, while the committee was not allowed to read a press statement in front of the prison. The committee red the statement 5 km away from the prison.

In the press statement, Buldan and Temelli pointed out the fear of the government from the free will of millions, as the main cause for these kind of unfair obstacles being applied against HDP and Demirtaş's campaign and said that by the 24th of June, millions will release Demirtaş together with other political prisoners out from prisons.

On the other hand, along with the bureaucratic barriers, direct attacks on HDP's election campaigns, which have been organized by the government and civil fascist gangs for a while, are trying to be spread and intensified in different parts of Turkey and North Kurdistan. After some partial attempts of the co-work of police and civil fascists happened in Ankara and other western cities last week, now the soldiers started to be directly involved in these attacks in North Kurdistan cities. On the 25th of May, soldiers took down HDP's party banners put up around the elections bureau to be opened in the coming days in Silopi. Similarly, in Kızıltepe district of Mardin province, party banners along the street the HDP women's elections bureau had been taken down by the police last night. The reason put forward for the removal of flags was even more scandalous than the act itself; "flags block the road".
