New photos have emerged regarding the torture of Hacı Lokman Birlik after his execution in Şırnak, whose dead body was later dragged behind a police vehicle through the streets.
Photos released by Dicle News Agency (DIHA) show a group of special operation police posing near Birlik’s body outside the Şehit Mehmet İşler police station on Orman Street after it was dragged up to there from Özel Street in Dicle neighborhood.
Some 10 armored police vehicles are seen in the photos, the one that dragged Birlik’s body being in the forefront.
When Birlik’s body is first brought to the police station, the policemen waiting there take photos of his body tied behind the police vehicle which was seen in a scary video footage two days ago, with the policemen inside uttering heavy swearwords as they drag him on the streets in great joy and proud. The photo taken here is understood to be the first one circulated on social media several days ago.
The policemen get off the armored vehicle, upon which all the others gather near Birlik’s body that still remain tied to the vehicle for some more time. Some policemen are seen to be wearing ski masks, while many others have their faces open.
As many as 30 policemen here pose to each other near Birlik’s dragged body that remain tied behind the vehicle for five more minutes, after which his body is untied and put into the same vehicle that dragged him, before he is finally taken to hospital.
