Curfew

A curfew has been declared in four neighborhoods in the Bismil district of the southeastern province of Diyarbak?r, a move that reportedly came after outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants dug trenches and erected barricades on the streets.

Around 40 outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants were killed during the eight-day curfew in the Cizre district of the southeastern province of ??rnak, ??rnak Governor Ali ?hsan Su has said.

A curfew declared in the southeastern province of ??rnak?s Cizre district since 7 p.m. on Sept. 13 has been lifted, an official statement announced on Sept. 14.

According to Turkish European Union Minister Ali Haydar Konca, during the week-long curfew in southeastern Cizre at least 20 people lost their lives, though the prime minister of the country apparently wanted to believe no one was hurt. The premier, fighting for his own political survival, was obviously uninformed of the saga of little Cemile.

A second curfew has been declared in the Cizre district of the southeastern province of ??rnak amid operations to apprehend members of the "terrorist organization," the ??rnak Governor's Office has stated. 

The latest curfew comes less than 48 hours since the controversial last curfew ended.

Turkey's main social-democrat party has called on Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu to explain the reason for the state of siege in Cizre in the southeastern province of ??rnak while also demanding an end to the week-long curfew in the area. 

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. 

Operations caused the deaths of three civilians and injured three others in the southeastern province of Diyarbak?r?s Silvan district on Aug. 18, during a period when a curfew had been declared, according to a human rights report prepared by local civil society organizations. 

Three people were killed and seven wounded in the curfew-decreed Yüksekova district of the southeastern province of Hakkari, a Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputy has claimed.
