Special operation police attacked thousands of people who arrived Cizre after a long walk from Şırnak and Silopi since yesterday. People responded to the police by carrying out self-defense and chanting slogans.

Thousands of people had left for Cizre from Şırnak and Silopi district yesterday morning to stop the massacre of civilians by Turkish state forces and support the resistance waged by the people against increasingly ongoing attacks. The large number of people have entered the town despite all the attacks, hindrances and barricades by security forces they faced on their way since yesterday.

The masses have been joined by a number of local people in Konak neighborhood of Cizre, after which thousands started a march to the town center, with women on the front lines.

Large numbers of special operation police arrived the neighborhood with armored vehicles after the beginning of the march, and attacked them with tear gas and pressure water. Bullets were fired on the people as they resisted to continue their march.

People resist the attacks, chanting the slogan "Bijî berxwedana Cizîrê" [Long Live Cizre Resistance].
