I think "closed down" is misleading in this case. It sounds like the party members decided to disband, when in fact the party was banned by the government. Edited the hook to clarify. (t &#183The decision today by Turkey's constitutional court to ban the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party ;

Overall: A good, clear article, and - by the look of it - an essential article. So thank you for this. ~~One small point about all the hooks. In standard English, the phrase would be: "25th political party to be banned". Also, in ALT2: the phrase should be "that when in December".~~ I prefer ALT0 because the simplest hook works best here - it is shocking that a political party should be banned, and a brief announcement of that fact assists the shock factor, in my opinion.

Thank you, Paradise Chronicle, for updating ALT0 and ALT1. Please could you also update ALTs 2 and 3 with "to be"? (They will still be less than the 200-character limit). Storye book (talk) 11:34, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, Paradise Chronicle. Good to go, for ALT0, although the other hooks are acceptable, too. Storye book (talk) 15:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
