DIYARBAKIR 14.Sep.(DIHA) - Human Rights
Association (IHD) released a report concerning the
results of the clashes in the last three months. As
to the report, 123 people lost their lives in the
last 3 months in East and Southeast Anatolia
Regions, 118 people injured and 959 human right
violence were experienced.
The chairman of Diyarbakir Human Rights Association
Selahattin Demirtaş said the social peace should be
maintained immediately otherwise the country will
undergo a chaos.
The report was revealed by the Region representative
of the association Mehdi Perinçek and the Branch
chairman of IHD Selahatin Demirtaş in the building
of the association in Diyarbakir. Demirtaş said due
to clashes started in June the number of human right
violence increased considerably. The more the
clashes continue, the more the intervention to the
meeting, demonstration, organization rights and
freedom of speech are experienced, said Demirtaş. He
also expressed that the torture practices increased
and the returns to the villages stopped as the
clashes started again and the economy of the region
was influenced adversely from the clashes.
'Militarist speeches instead of peaceful remarks'
The clashes paralyzing the communal life results
from the peaceful dialogs' not being used in the
resolution of the Kurdish problem, said Demirtaş.
Those ruling the country do militarist speeches
instead of peaceful remarks. They do not dare using
the language of the public but dare to open a case
for a executive like the mayor of Diyarbakir
Metropolitan Municipality who is trying to serve to
the peace with his brave remarks and applications."
said he.
The inquiry should be back out'
Demanding the inquiry opened against the mayor Osman
Baydemir to be back out, Demirtaş said: "We think
the remarks of the government saying 'The Kurdish
problem exists and we will resolve the problem with
more democratization. We are ready to listen to
everybody having a say about the problem' as a
contradiction as the oppression towards the public
who has their own sayings about the problem. The
government should leave these practices immediately
and give ear to the elected representatives of the
public."
He also said the remarks of the PM Erdogan regarding
the Kurdish problem were not clear. A problem close
related to the Kurds can not be solved without
consulting the Kurds themselves, said Demirtaş.
Calling everybody to use the language of peace, he
added: "While the communal activities breaking up
all over the country are turning into an ethnic
conflict, the government and all the other people
should pay attention to use the language of peace
and brotherhood. In the process in which racist
attacks were done and a lynch atmosphere was
developed only illegal and confusion can grow up."
"While the democratic steps taken in the way through
the EU have not been reflected to the practice, the
rights granted on the papers are desired to be taken
back with the new 'Anti-Terror Law'. The limitations
posed in the name of security can not solve the
problems. If they insist on the new law limiting our
democratic rights, we will not keep silent." said
Demirtaş.
