Rojava Human Rights Watch (KMM) has released a statement about the three Kurdish civilians who were murdered by Turkish special operation teams on the Qamishlo border of Mardin's Nusaybin district on 17 November.

The organization stated that the three people from Rojava who were buried in their homeland on Nov. 19th had torture marks on their bodies and fractures on their heads, arms and feet. Some parts of their bodies were also amputated.

KKM condemned the torture the Turkish state committed on the bodies of the Kurdish civilians killed on the border, and urged international organizations not to remain silent about the incident and to investigate it.

Fahrettin Akdeniz, relative of two of the victims, Amir and Yasir Ehmed Abdullah, said in an interview with DIHA (Dicle News Agency) that "The uncle of two of the victims called me after delivering the bodies to Rojava and asked "In which way were these people murdered?". He told me that the eyes of two brothers had been scratched out and some of their organs had been removed and amputated".

In mid July, three Kurdish civilians were brought to the state hospital in Urfa's Ceylanpınar 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 later taken to western Kurdistan's Dirbêsiyê city. 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. They urged Turkish authorities to clarify the incident and called on nongovernmental organizations to voice their reaction against the inhuman treatment on bodies.
