ŞIRNEX – Turkish state forces continue to maintain violent martial law in the town, firing artillery overnight at inhabited areas. At least 10 have been wounded from artillery fire that struck a house.

As the people of Cizre resist for the right to self-government, the Turkish state continues to respond with a genocidal attack on the town, now in its 41st day. State forces maintained an artillery bombard overnight, with a shell striking a home in the Cudi neighborhood, demolishing one wall.

At least 10 were wounded in the attack. Mehmet Yavuzel, a member of the assembly of the Democratic Regions’ Party (DBP), was among those wounded in the attack and is in critical condition. The continuing attacks have prevented residents from evacuating the wounded to the hospital. The two co-chairs of the Cizre People’s Assembly were left unharmed in the attack.

Cihan Karaman, the wounded university student who the European Court of Human Rights ruled must be guaranteed the right to medical care, was among those in the house.
