Turkish state forces are implementing an all-out blackout across the town of Cizre in the wake of yesterday's offensive on two buildings where wounded people had taken shelter and got trapped as a result of artillery attacks of military and police forces with tanks and heavy arms.
As Turkish officials or authorities are yet to make a statement on the massacre in which at least 30 people have been reported killed, Turkish media outlets are already making efforts to cover up the dimension of the savage mass killing.
Staff at Cizre State Hospital are being held under siege and barred from contact with outside. Health workers in the two municipal ambulances sent to the scene for the retrieval of bodies were also forced to turn off their mobile phones.
While the exact time of the massacre also remains unknown, the only information available is that tens of people have been executed. In the meantime, a number of corpses have been taken to Cizre State Hospital. No proper reports can be received from the town due to the ongoing state of siege.
In the meantime, state forces and mainstream media are engaged in a joint effort to cover up the massacre, with local sources reporting that Turkish forces are opening random fire in the Cudi neighborhood where both buildings are located. Reports coming through also include blasts occurring at intervals as state forces pretend to be engaged in clashes in the mentioned area.
