SİLVAN

In the meantime, Turkish state forces continue their attacks in Silvan (Farqin) district of Amed as well. While the resistance of the people led by the youth also continues, helicopters are often carrying out flight at low level over the district. Additionally, sounds of guns are frequently heard from the neighbourhoods.

The journalists covering the attacks of state forces in the district have also been targeted by police forces. Following the detention of reporters for Özgür Tv and DIHA this morning, it has emerged that a detention warrant has been issued for the journalists based in the district on grounds of violating the curfew.
