A delegation of the HDP including deputies has started a sit-in at the entrance of Şırnak's Cizre district as Turkish security forces continue denying access to the district.

The HDP delegation, which includes, Mardin deputy Mehmet Ali Aslan, Batman deputy Ayşe Acar Başaran and Urfa deputy Leyla Güven, were hindered by police and military forces at the checkpoint outside Düzova police station on Silkroad close to the district.

Police forces didn't allow the politicians into the district on the grounds of the 'curfew' declared by Governor, upon which the delegation started a sit-in outside the police station.
