A mass has been found near the village of Karasu in Mardin's Mazıdağı district.

According to the statements by villagers who opened the mass grave and found bones and clothes of three people, three members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were buried in the mentioned mass grave after they were executed by a group of JITEM (gendarmerie intelligence and anti-terror unit) members and Bilge village's guards in 1993.

According to the reports of human rights associations, there 253 mass graves,, in which 3248 people are buried, in 20 different areas in Turkey. 29 of these mass graves have been opened so far, with 190 bodies found buried in them. Families of unidentified murders in the Kurdish region reach the bodies of their relatives with their own means as they receive no answer to their demands for the opening of mass graves and the enlightenment of unidentified murders.

Villagers stated that one of the three PKK members was from Diyarbakır with the code name of Ishak, one from Van with the code name of Savaş, and one other from Mardin's Kızıltepe district with the code name of Şahin. Villagers remarked they had at that time attempted to reclaim the Kurdish guerrillas in the grave but were threatened by a JITEM member, called Çetin, and Bilge village's guards who said that; “This is a prohibited area from now on. Should anyone take them out of this grave, he shall suffer the same fate with them”.
