HDP Diyarbakır MP İmam Taşçıer voiced strong suspicions that the four youths murdered by police in Amed's Bismil district yesterday might have been executed without any clash taking place.

HDP Diyarbakır MP İmam Taşçıer voiced strong suspicions that the four youths murdered by police in Amed's Bismil district yesterday might have been executed without any clash taking place. He said all the four youths were shot in the head at the same scene.

The identities of the four slain youths, whose bodies were brought to Bismil State Hospital in blankets yesterday evening, haven't been clarified yet.

All the four bodies were taken to Diyarbakır Forensic Medicine Institution, from which they were referred to Malatya Forensic Medicine Institution today. Two families have also gone to Malatya thinking their children could be among the four.

Images of four dead bodies shared by a Twitter account called JİTEM (Gendarmerie Intelligence and Anti-Terror Unit) which is responsible for countless unidentified murders committed during the 90's, strengthen the suspicions that these four people could be the youths who were taken to hospital yesterday.

The photo images show that all the four people were savagely murdered, with the head of one was completely shattered, and an arm was placed on the body of every single one of them.

HDP Diyarbakır MP İmam Taşçıer, who was in Bismil yesterday, told that; “The bodies shown in the photos and those sent to Malatya cohere. According to the information we received from health staff at Bismil Hospital's morgue, all the four youths were shot in the head, as is also shown by the photos released by that Twitter account.”

Taşçıer said they didn't know yet how the incident took place but only four bodies were taken from the same scene, adding that the shot of all the four in their head strengthen the suspicions that they were executed.

Drawing attention to the ongoing war and terror in the Kurdish region, HDP deputy said Turkish forces used savage and cruel methods and directly shot the people dead without ever trying to capture them, nor making discrimination whether they have arms or not. "No laws or no constitution works in Kurdistan. The concept of state forces is grounded on killing, and this raises further concerns over the developments to take place in the future."

The Twitter account JİTEM had previously released photos and a video of Hacı Lokman Birlik who was also executed and later dragged on streets behind a police vehicle in Şırnak last week.
