Out of the four youths who were savagely executed by special operation teams in Amed's Bismil district several days ago, three are yet to be identified. All the four bodies are held in Malatya, in addition to the 18 other bodies reported to belonging to HPG guerrillas.

While only Bilal Bozkır's body has been recognized by his family, bodies of three other youths killed in Bismil couldn't be identified yet. Three families have left Malatya after giving samples for a DNA test on three other youths whose bodies are unrecognizable.

18 MORE BODIES HELD IN MALATYA

On the other hand, 18 other bodies reported to belonging to HPG guerrillas are also being held in Malatya Forensic Medicine Institution and a tent in the City Cemetery.

These 18 include bodies of HPG guerrillas who were martyred in clashes in Şırnak's Beytüşşebap district on September 24, and some others taken to the city from various regions during the past one month. Most of the bodies cannot be identified due to the torture or heavy weaponry they were subject to.

Families are on the other hand waiting to reclaim the bodies of their children as the procedures are yet to be finalized after they gave DNA samples for identification.
