I had my words stick in my throat. Then, I asked her what happened to her. She told me, "They handcuffed our hands behind and they steped on our heads." I couldn't see her pupil of the eye due to blood. I couldn't recognise my sister due to tortured she faced. I haven't seen something like that before. Her five children are at home. The oldest one is 12-year-old." Cemal said that Nurşat was detained due to she didn't leave her home and lands.

Cemal stated that they left Nusaybin three months ago and they will return to Nusaybin. "We'll set up tent in front of our home even if there is only the name of Nusaybin left. We wanted to stay with our killed people; however, we forced to leave. The people cannot be annihilated by killing. Kurdish people also cannot be annihilated. You haven't been able to annihilate these people for 40 years, you cannot anymore. Enough, we want peace. These people don't want this war."
