Police unable to enter Kurdish language primary school
Turkish police attempted to enter the Dibistana Seretayî a Ferzad Kemangar (school of Dibistana Seretayî a Ferzad Kemangar), which is one of the 3 schools starting education in Kurdish language today, before the opening. The parents of students attending the school in the Bağlar district of Amed and local people reacted to the attempt of the police and only officials of the national education directorate were allowed to make an investigation.
The Turkish police arrived in front of the school with many armoured vehicles and water cannon at around 09:30, entering the garden of the school. Friction between the police and the parents of the students and people around the school broke out. The attempts of the police to arrest people who prevented them entering the school increased the tension.
The police were unable to make arrests on account of the intervention of the people and they withdrew from the garden of the school. After the police withdrew from the school, 2 officials of the national education directorate of the Bağlar district entered the school in order to make an inspection in the classes. While the inspections at the school are continuing, the police around the school and the parents and the people in the school garden with representatives of Kurdi-Der and the education union Eğitim Sen are continuing to wait.
