In Turkey, at least seven people have been killed by Turkish security forces, as authorities have declared a curfew across the mainly Kurdish southeast region. At least two of those killed were protesters who were demonstrating against a police crackdown. The deaths come amid an escalating Turkish police and military crackdown across Kurdish communities in Turkey’s southeast. A resident of the southeast town of Cizre, who did not give his name for safety reasons, spoke out against the repression.

Cizre resident: “I find these policies erroneous. The pressure on Kurdish people has become unacceptable. What is it that we cannot share? Enough is enough. We want peace.”
