IHD: 1,657 violations of rights recorded in Van in 2019

Posted on January 31, 2020February 8, 2020 By admin

The Human Rights Association (IHD) Van Branch said the report it prepared on the violations of rights in the city in 2019 recorded 1,657 violations.

IHD branch chair, Murat Melet, said that the violations of rights decreased during the “Peace process” between 2013 and 2015. He pointed out that with the increase of conflicts, violations of rights also increased.

Melet said: “Even though the State of Emergency in Turkey has been officially lifted, unfortunately it continues de facto in Kurdistan.”

Commenting on the death fast and hunger strikes of Grup Yorum members, Melet said: “The demands of Grup Yorum members should be fulfilled as soon as possible.”

IHD member Kasım Kalkan read the report.
Kalkan reminded the appointment of trustees and political genocide practices are incompatible with the law.

“Before the local elections, detention and arrests – he said – have increased. We have reported 326 house raids, 435 citizens, including 11 children, have been taken into custody, and 74 citizens have been remanded in custody.”
