Details still remain unclear regarding the massacre Turkish state forces committed in several neighborhoods of Şırnak's Cizre district.

While a total of 110 corpses have been retrieved from several areas around the first and second basements in Cudi neighborhood, no news has been received yet about the situation in the third basement in Sur neighborhood where 23 slain and 23 wounded people were awaiting evacuation. While the area was under fire of state forces when they were last reached yesterday morning, smokes are rising from the street where this third building is located.

As the mentioned building remains on a huge fire that can be seen from the entire town, the people trapped here are guessed to have been massacred. State forces have once again prevented families from reaching the scene earlier today.

HDP Şırnak deputy Faysal Sarıyıldız who is also in the town since the beginning of the most recent curfew two months ago, posted the followings on his Twitter account; “Interior Minister announced the ending of operations in Cizre yesterday. Yet, houses are being burnt today. Are the evidences of crimes being obfuscated?”
