Turkish state forces know no bounds in the savagery they commit against the Kurdish people whom they terrorize with “clear instruction” from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.
A photo from Şırnak shows 24-year-old Hacı Lokman Birlik tied behind an armored police vehicle and dragged on the ground after his execution by special operation teams in the Dicle neighborhood of Şırnak late Friday.
Eyewitnesses said Birlik was first wounded in the armed attack of state forces, upon which special operation members came near him, shot him to death, and stepped on his head as they had a photo taken at the scene. Witnesses said the policemen later dragged Birlik’s body on the ground until they took it out of the street where they killed him in Dicle neighborhood.
As the youth’s body was later taken to Şırnak State Hospital by the people, hospital staff Menal Geçer was also battered by special operation teams as she brought a stretcher to carry him into the hospital. Geçer was later detained and taken to Şırnak police headquarters.
DEMİRTAŞ: NOBODY SHOULD FORGET THIS PHOTO
Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-President Selahattin Demirtaş who also published the photo of the savagery on his Twitter account, said; “Look at this photo very clearly. It was taken in Şırnak the day before. Nobody should forget this photo, because we will not.”
This image brings to mind the hundreds of war crimes committed by the Turkish state in the 1990s, when they resorted to what was later called a ‘dirty war’ against the Kurdish people to prevent Kurds from supporting the Kurdish movement.
