The Bar of Diyarbakır made a press statement and declared that the three civilians among four who have been killed during severe clashes in Cizre, have been shot on head and murdered.

Tahir Elçi from the Bar of Diyarbakır called on both security forces and Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) to conform to humanitarian law and right to live.

"Eyewitnesses have told snipers from two military units have opened pinpoint and selective fire over people for 2-3 hours. Thus the committee has concluded that these killings were extrajudicial and arbitrary" said the statement.

Four people including 10-year-old Emin Yavaş and 7-year-old Baran Çağlı have been killed during incidents in tense Cizre. Although Çağlı has been hospitalized after the incident, he has succumbed to his injuries, recently.
