This week in Europe – innocent children burned alive and blown to bits by our ‘friends and allies’ the Turkish State- NOTHING ABOUT IT IN MY NEWSPAPER. Over 100 civilians massacred after 3 weeks trapped in cellars- NOTHING ABOUT IT ON THE NEWS. How is this possible? Is it because the US made an agrrement to let Turkey do what they like with the Kurdish people at home, etc? Is it because the EU were blackmailed to shut up as part of the deal to restrict refugees? Or because of the Turkish news blackout and jailings of curious journalists? Whatever the reasons there’s no excuse for the media to shut up as Erdogan imposes the Nazi Solution in his megalomaniac quest for absolute `power. Here to redress the balance a tiny bit, we re-publish summaries and links to many shocking posts appearing only in the Kurdish media. Anna-Sara Malmgren questions silence on Turkey’s state terror

NEWS CENTER – Turkey’s human rights abuses in Kurdistan “should be enough to spark a worldwide outcry,” said Stanford University philosophy professor Anna Malmgren, among the authors of a recent petition calling on Barack Obama to take a public stand on the issue. “We want president Obama to speak out, loud and clear, against the atrocities that are being committed by the Turkish government in the southeast,” said Anna-Sara. She noted that media silence on what she described as “state terrorism” against Kurds prompted the petition.

‘Humanity was killed in Cizre, not people’

DİLOK- Antep women reacted to killing of people in ‘basements of savagery’. ” Our conscience and humanity were executed in Cizre, the people executed in Cizre’s basements, will live forever,” said Antep women. … In Cizre, Şırnak province, 139 wounded people took refuge in three basements. 110 dead bodies have been removed from basements in the town of Cizre that came under attack by Turkish state forces. The basements are called ‘basements of savagery’. Antep (a city in Turkey) women reacted to the massacres in Cizre. Atiye Okay, co-chair of the HDP Antep, said, Sıdıka Yaman, co-chair of the HDP Şehitkamil, said, “…They are doing what Hitler did. First, the people were sentenced to death, then they killed these people. On the top of it, They scattered gasoline in areas of the building and lit it on fire. This is a situation that does not fit the law of war and the humanity. The state shells its own citizens.
