Municipal police mistreat boy in Amed
Children in Kurdistan continue suffering violence from those on duty in the institutions of the Turkish state. In Amed, municipal police forces have abused a boy who was picking up waste paper with a handcart.
In the central district of Sur in Amed (Diyarbakir), municipal police officers mistreated a boy who was collecting waste paper with a handcart. The incident occurred just a few days after a massive police assault on children playing in Nusaybin became known, which caused great outrage.
In Amed, people happened to be filming how the municipal police in Sur perpetrated violence against the boy. The underage paper collector was beaten, his handcart was confiscated. The footage, which is widely circulated in the social media, shows the boy sitting on the floor, panting, with people around trying to help him.
Burası da Diyarbakır.
