A group of former lawmakers from the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) have staged a sit-in at parliament, protesting against the violence and curfews imposed on the southeastern towns of Cizre and Silopi.

A Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP) deputy, who entered Turkey?s southeastern province of ??rnak?s Cizre district, where a curfew has been in place since Sept. 4, said two young people were killed in clashes with security forces, while the damages of the clashes in Diyarbak?r?s Sur district following the lift of a day-long curfew have been revealed. 

After three members of Turkey's security forces were killed in the latest attacks by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the country's southeast, an indeterminate curfew went into effect starting from Aug. 24 at noon in the Silvan district of the southeastern province of Diyarbak?r.
