State forces cause death of 2 unborn babies in Cizre
ŞIRNAK (DİHA) - In Cizre district of Şırnak where a state of siege continues in its 13th day, police and military forces of the state continue targeting and killing civilians upon a continued failure to break the popular resistance on streets.
On the other hand, artillery strikes by tanks are also going on in an effort to force the people to leave home.
After yesterday's murder by police of 3-month-old Miray İnce, who was firstly reported as 6 months old Meral İnce but was later identified, seven months pregnant Zekiye Eren and eight months pregnant Asya Sezgin (37) gave premature birth under the strain of intensified bombardments late yesterday evening. Both mothers lost their lives due to belated access to hospital.
It is reported that bodies of two babies will be held at Cizre State Hospital's morgue and laid to rest alongside other slain civilians once the curfew is ended.
Mothers are reported to be in good state of health.
