The radical leftist Revolutionary People's Liberation Party–Front (DHKP-C ) has kidnapped the general prosecutor who investigated the killing of 15-year-old Berkin Elvan. A photo of the prosecutor, Mohamet Selinkiraz, being held with a gun to his head was posted on Twitter from a very new account, and was re-tweetedrapidly. Berkin Elvan had been in a coma for nine months when he died on 11 March 2014 after being struck by a teargas canister fired by police during the Gezi park protests. The DHKP-C is a leftist group founded in 1978. It has carried a number of attacks, suicide bombing and assassinations in Turkey, and is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the US, and the EU. The group claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at the US embassy in Istanbul last year, according to Turkish newspaper Today Zaman. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/126556.aspx
