Shopkeepers in Þýrnak and Cizre closed up their shops as a protest action for 10 HPG (People Defence Forces) guerrillas who lost their lives during the clash in Pervari/ Siirt. The family of Silopi/Þýrnak born Halis Kuday'ýn (Herekol Silopi) went to Siirt to get the body. If they get the body, he will be buried in Silopi.

The fact that the bodies of 10 guerrillas were held in hospitals for days and the identities of them were not disclosed gave way to many protests.

Þýrnak shopkeepers made a protest act by closing up their shops to protest against the waiting of corpses in hospitals for days. While the people are waiting for the bodies of Þýrnak born guerrillas, the preparations in the city are continuing. While the shopkeepers in Cizre are protesting the case by taking down the shutters, silence dominates the county.
