Cizre is still under curfew and police forces fired on the people who wanted to take care of the injured people in Cudi neighborhood.
Despite the interlocutory injunction of ECHR, people couldn't have taken Serkan Altun to hospital for two days and he passed away. Before him, two people also died because the security forces hadn't allowed them to be taken to hospital.
Police fired on the people who headed to Cudi neighborhood in order to take Serkan Altun and other injured people. 10 people were injured, including Refik Tekin, working as a cameraman for İMC TV.
Speaking to Agos, HDP MP Faysal Sarıyıldız said that they went for taking the injured and over 10 people got injured because of the fire opened by the police forces. He added that one of the injured is in critical condition.
A call to the government by Demirtaş
HDP co-chair Demirtaş urged the government to take action immediately concerning 10 people who were injured while they were going to take the injured people in Cudi.
Stating that a fire opened on a group, including Şırnak MP Faysal Sarıyıldız and the mayor, and injured people are waiting to be rescued in a basement, Demirtaş said, “What is happening in Cizre, Silopi and Sur today is made possible by the support of the ones who are accomplices to this crime. You have to end the major crime that is committed in Cizre now. You cannot open fire on the injured people, you cannot torture them. A group including an MP and the mayor was going to take the injured and they had informed the district government in advance. The situation is bleak. There are 10 people in a basement who are bleeding to death now. We are informed that the fire is ceased for now, but the ambulance are not taking them.”
Saying that he spoke to Faysal Sarıyıldız on the phone, Demirtaş added: “Our friends spoke to Efkan Ala and he said that he will take action, but nothing happened. If someone dies in that basement, the minister of interior and the prime minister are the ones to blame.”
