Three children are the last victims of police brutality
Once again children have been the victims of police brutality during the events in Mardin's Nusaybin and Kiziltepe districts in the last 24 hours. Three children between the age of 3 and 15, wounded by gas bombs thrown by police, are fighting for their life in hospital.
Clashes continued till late last night in Nusaybin and Kiziltepe districts of Mardin, where life came to a standstill for three days following the death of HPG guerrillas in the military operations of the Turkish army. Police teams, stepping back during some clashes, once again targeted little children and cut across all boundaries while attacking children who responded to gas bombs with small stones in their hands. Within the last 24 hours, three children, two in Nusaybin and one in Kýzýltepe, got seriously wounded by gas bombs and taken to hospital for treatment.
