The perpetrator who carried out an armed attack against the İstanbul Provincial Office of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has been arrested.
 
M.S.H. fired shots in the air in front of HDP İstanbul Office on January 15. He was arrested yesterday (January 20) on charges of "using an unregistered firearm" and "disturbing public peace."
