Turkish troops threaten, throw out Swede election observers
Quote:
Election observers in Turkey said they were intimidated and forcibly removed from polling stations by the Turkish military, Swedish media reports.
"The military must not be within 100 meters of a polling station, so we said [to the soldiers] that what you are doing is illegal," Ellen Gustafsson, a monitor with the Swedish Left Party's youth wing, told the radio station. She said the military grabbed them and took them out of the polling station.
Livh described the scene as "both shocking and sad."
"We have seen the obvious electoral fraud, like at a polling station where a female official was told by a man standing next to her on how to fill out her ballot," she told the newspaper. "When we pointed that out we were thrown out."
get out with your islamophobia from here pls. what does it have to do with Turkey being a country to visit?
There is no mention of Islam here. Turkey is a secular country. This thread is about the Turkish military intimidating and forcibly removing Swedish election observers.

anyway looks like it happened in a little city on Eastern Turkey called Bingol, which has nowhere to see or visit. Election times are stressful, and every people or every police are not tolerant as always.
