In Silvan district of Amed where Turkish forces have started a military operation earlier today, special operation police shot a 5-year-old kid by the name of Abdullah Güney.

While electricity, water and internet services all remain cut off, a large number of soldiers and armored military vehicles have been dispatched to the district since yesterday evening.

HDP Batman deputy Mehmet Ali Aslan who is currently in Silvan said the followings regarding the situation in the district; “State forces are attacking and murdering civilians in a Mongolian manner. They want to intimidate the people and make them surrender. I am calling upon all international organisations, the UN in the first place, to send delegations here to witness the state atrocity at scene.”

HDP deputy also called on the Kurdish people to stand up against this annihilation policy.
