In Van, Diyarbakir, Mardin, Bitlis, Hakkari, Muş and Şırnak, families of People’s Defense Forces (HPG) guerrillas are treated inhumanely as they bury their dead.
The families face various forms of intimidation and abuse during the entire funeral process, from transporting to burying the fallen.
The Association of Help and Solidarity with Families who have lost their Relatives (MEBYA-DER’s) co-chair, Gülistan Önver, responded to appeals from the grieving families.
