| 2016-01-06 |
| [ARA] Amid the continuous military operations by the Turkish forces in the southeastern Kurdish province of Sirnak, three prominent female political activists were reported dead on Tuesday. Turkish security forces rubbed out the three Kurdish activists in Silopi town of Sirnak province. Sêvê Demir, member of the Democratic Regions Party (BDP), Pakize Nayir, co-leader of the People's Council in Silopi, and Fatma Uyar, member of the Free Woman Union were found dead subsequent to a security raid in Silopi town on Tuesday. The liquidation of the three Kurdish female activists raised the outrage of the Kurdish parties in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... The People's Democratic Party (HDP) and the Democratic Regions Party (BDP) issued a joint statement condemning the liquidation. "This crime confirms the brutality of the authorities against the Kurdish people and the peaceful activists. Those women have been struggling for the legitimate civil rights of their people," it said. Under the pretext of combating rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the Turkish army and security forces have been waging fierce operations against the Kurdish towns of Cizre and Silopi in the southeastern province of Sirnak for weeks. Local sources argued that the Turkish operations aim at punishing the entire Kurdish population in the region for alleged cooperation with the PKK. |
