Turkish
state forces are implementing an all-out media blackout across the
town of Cizre in the wake of yesterday’s [7/2/16] offensive by
Turkish forces on two buildings where wounded people had taken
shelter and were trapped as a result of artillery attacks over a
sixteen day siege.
At least 60
Kurds – men, women and childrem – are known to have lost their
lives. Most of those inside the building had been sheltering in the
basement. The Turkish Government claimed all the occupants were
members of the proscribed PKK.
A local
political leader has stated that the attack had all the hallmarks of
a military-Ergenekon (‘deep state’) alliance, as part of the
Government offensive against the Kurds. So far, mainstream media in
the West has ignored the massacre.
