ADANA Dec 9 (DIHA)
- Bar of Adana, Head of Commission of Human Rights
Association, Lawyer Mustafa Cinkılıç, said that in
the first 9 months of 2005, 4 people died under
custody and at least 300 were exposed to torture and
abuse. Cinkılıç said that the number of people
killed by policemen, soldier, ranger and private
security guards in 11 months was 51.
Bar of Adana, Commission of Human Rights
Association, made an explanation at the bar meeting
room on account of the 10th December anniversary of
the approval of Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. Bar of Adana, Head of Commission of Human
Rights Association, Lawyer Mustafa Cinkılıç, who
drew attention to the fact that as many people died
as if there had been a III. World War after the
second, spoke 'we see that the number of casualties
in regional and dual and civil wars and fights is
higher than there were in II. World War.
When such developments happen in the 57th
anniversary of the Universal Declaration, there are
different violations of human rights in our country.
Cinkılıç, who said that opinion is still a crime in
our country, emphasized that Turkey should be saved
out of the image of a country where people are
exposed to torture on the street and in custody
centers by public servants. Cinkılıç, who said that
great political care must be taken to deter torture,
spoke 'Our country must be place where people in
prisons do not hang themselves and are not killed,
where people do not resort to hunger strikes, where
people are not put alone in a cell and isolated.'
The Balance Sheet of Ignorance
Cinkılıç, who mentioned the events in Şemdinli,
demanded the responsible to be found out and
chastised and the event be unravelled. Cinkılıç, who
announced the data by TİHV (Turkey Human Rights
Association), said that in the first 9 months of
2005, 4 people died under custody and at least 300
were exposed to torture and abuse. Cinkılıç also
said that the numbers in question do not include the
ones beaten in meetings and demonstrations and that
in 11 months 18 people, 8 of whom were children,
died and 45 were wounded by dispossessed explosives.
He drew attention to the explanation that the
Logistics Command of Turkish Land Forces made on 4th
June that 'between 1984-1998, 18 475 security forces
and 12 481 civil died'. The other data he gave was:
'in the first 11 months, at least 86 soldiers, 2
policemen, 8 village rangers, 163 organisation
militant, 2 civil and 6 state servant died. In the
first 11 months of the year, at least 51 people were
killed by the police, soldiers, village rangers, and
private security members and hundreds of people were
wounded.'
