Families cannot identify bodies of 3 HPG members

The bodies of 3 HPG members who lost their lives in clashes in Gabar could not be identified by the families because they were covered in burns.

The Ministry of Interior announced that 3 HPG members, one of them a woman, lost their lives in clashes on Gabar mountain in Basa district of Şırnak. The bodies of the 3 HPG members were taken to the Şırnak State Hospital morgue. The families of the three guerrillas were called by the police to identify their bodies.
