Emine Bayram, who lives in Birazeyna hamlet, told us, "They told us 'go to stone house (near our home) or we'll shoot you'. They messed up our home and then they took my brother-in-law Ömer Bayram with themselves. We asked them where they were taking him and they told us, 'He will stay with us tonight. We'll take his statement." And they took him."

According to reports received, soldiers forced Ömer Bayram to carry weapon and bag and took him with themselves by calling him 'terrorist'.

Meanwhile, fire has been reported in fields and women have tried to put out the fire with their own means.
