NGOs hold silent demonstration in protest of deadly explosion
4 August 2010 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
Nongovernmental organizations in the eastern province of Batman held a silent march and sit-in demonstration yesterday in protest of a mine explosion that claimed the lives of four people in Batman’s Hasankeyf on Monday.
Among the four were Sedat Özevin, a former chairman of the Batman Bar Association, Salih Özdemir, the former provincial chairman of the now-defunct pro-Kurdish People’s Labor Party (HEP) and Sadi Özdemir, a former chairman of the Human Rights Association’s (İHD) Batman branch. The four were in a car headed to an oil exploration site where Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists had overpowered night watchmen and started a fire on Saturday night. They were traveling to the area to aid in efforts to extinguish the fire. The blaze was later put out by firefighters.
Lawyers registered at Batman Bar Association, as well as representatives from other nongovernmental organizations, held a silent march.
