Media Mezopotamya News announces that five young volunteers are tortured by the Turkish Police for one night and left in the street by stealing the goods they carried. The complaint states that they had obtained all the administrative authorizations before going to the earthquake affected area. The five young men were kidnapped by people who didn't look like policemen while working between cement and rubble, and the police ended up in the house.

According to the complaint, police told them to volunteer and go to "another place" to help people affected by the earthquake.
