Doctors removed internal organs of Rojava people hospitalized in Viranşehir

Two days ago, three Kurdish civilians were brought to the state hospital in Urfa's Ceylanpınar (Serêkaniya Serxetê) district and then referred to the state hospital in Viranşehir district, suffering critical injuries caused by the attacks of al-Qaeda linked Islamist gang groups targeting the villages of Çava and Elka in western Kurdistan's Serêkaniyê region.

One among them, Selam Etayi, who reportedly had a brain hemorrhage and was critical condition, was referred to Urfa Research and Training Hospital.

The other two, Bengin Abdulaziz and Avareş, lost their life in the hospital in Viranşehir, allegedly because of the medical staff's late response and lack of particular attention to the civilians from Rojava.

The bodies of Bengin and Avareş were taken to western Kurdistan's Dirbêsiyê city on Saturday evening. Here they were examined once again by Kurdish doctors who said that the internal organs of the two people, including kidney and liver, had been removed at the Turkish hospital.

Doctors strongly responded to the incident which they commented as savagery violating both professional and human ethics.

Kurdish doctors urged Turkish authorities to clarify the incident and called on nongovernmental organizations to voice their reaction against the inhuman treatment on bodies.
