DİLOK- Antep women reacted to killing of people in 'basements of savagery'. " Our conscience and humanity were executed in Cizre, the people whose were 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 (one city in Turkey) women reacted to the massacres in Cizre. Atiye Okay, co-chair of the HDP Antep, said, "This shouldn't have been done to the Kurds who want self-government. In many countries, people declared their self-government and they can speak their mother tongue freely. The State pushed the Kurdish youths to dig the trenches. Erdoğan(President of Turkey) always looking for a enemy. If the wounded in the basements had been evacuated to hospitals, Kurds would cross out the all things and they would forget everything. However, the state didn't allow it."

Sıdıka Yaman, co-chair of the HDP Şehitkamil, said, "There isn't a second war like that in the world. They are going to do 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 on its own citizens. The wounded people stayed in the basements without food and water for more than two months."

Demet Paksoy, co-chair of DBP in Antep, said, "Our friends and comrades whose were executed in Cizre's basements, will live forever. Actually, we were executed in the basements, not them. Our humanity and our conscience were executed in the basements."
