Federal prosecutors in the District announced Tuesday that indictments have been issued for Turkish security officials who attacked peaceful protesters near the Turkish ambassador’s residence in May.
A D.C. Superior Court grand jury issued indictments for 15 Turkish security officials and four civilians — two Americans and two Canadians — accusing them of conspiracy to commit a crime of violence during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Washington in May. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia announced the indictments.
Only two of the accused, both Americans, have been arrested: Sinan Narin, 45, of McLean, Virginia. and Eyup Yildrim, 50, of Manchester, New Jersey, were arrested in June after D.C. police had issued warrants.

All indicted are listed by name in the article.
This brings me a smile, thanks for posting.
Thanks, I felt the same way when I read it.
It did not need much explanation.
Turks, standing their ground unlike those of us who aren’t able to do so. Unfortunately for the Turks, it happened here in the U.S. Sooner or later the rest of us will start standing our ground too. One can hope!
I think you need to go back and read what happened. Erdogen and company thought they could come over here and beat up and crush Kurds just because Erdogen doesn’t like them.
Hurrah! USA must strongly clamp down on Turks or Turkey when they act like beasts of the field.
This is an revealing event. It exposed the true nature of our NATO ally Turkey under Erdogan.
Absolutely! Audacious arrogance and lawlessness on US soil. Glad to see the indictments.
Imagine the abuses taking place within Turkey.
It was a peaceful protest and the Turks beat them up for daring to protest the next Caliph. So if you think that was ok, alrighty.
