'THOSE MURDERED ARE CIVILIANS'
Speaking at a press beriefing at DTK office in Amed, HDP deputy Meral Danış Beştaş said hundreds of masked policemen opened random fire around and snipers were positioned on high buildings in Silopi.
Beştaş pointed out that the three people murdered by police were all civilians, one of them a health worker and one other a firefighter.
HDP deputy stated that it was wounded policemen that were rushed to hospital first, upon which police forces blockaded the hospital and denied access to wounded civilians.
Beştaş said police also threatened to kill the doctors in the hospital and detained the civilians who carried the injured people to the hospital. She added that the detainees were tortured while under custody, and this was documented by lawyers.
'POLICE AIM A MASS KILLING'
''It is completely by chance that hundreds of people didn't die in that environment in Silopi. Police aim a mass killing of civilians'', Beştaş added.
