AKP’s administrative officials fired 36 people that worked at the tent camp in Viranşehir because of their participation in the funeral of a guerrilla who fell in the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle.
Yet another anti-Kurdish incident took place as the AKP and the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continue implementing policies hostile to Kurdish people. Viranşehir district governor fired 36 people working at the tent camp in Viranşehir because of their participation in the funeral of a guerrilla who died in the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle.
DISTRICT GOVERNOR’S INTOLERANCE FOR A FUNERAL
The 36 workers in Ceylanpınar were fired after they participated in the funeral of the brother of one of their colleagues. Viranşehir district governor Huzeyfe Citer fired the worker who lost his brother and the other 35 workers, and the excuse for this decision was the workers’ participation in the funeral. The district governor also decided not to pay the workers their deserved earnings for the month.
The workers described the district governor’s decision as enmity to Kurds and said that the AKP government could not prevent them from defending the values of Kurdish people. The fired people worked as private security personnel in the tent camp and said that the governor’s motive was to replace them with workers affiliated with the AKP.
