BATMAN, Northern Kurdistan, -- According to the news from the Northern Kurdistan we have received today a petrol station was blast, which resulted in death of four Kurdish civil and Human Rights activists. The blast took place in South Raman petrol region, 200 meters from Demirlipınar Village.
As the result of the explosion four Kurdish civilians( Sadi Ozdemir former IHD Chairman, Salih Ozdamir former Peace and Democracy Party; BDP, executive committee member, Sofi Ozdamir and the former Chairman of Batman Bar association Mr Sedat Ozevin) were killed, who were involved in Human Rights and Civil activities in Northern Kurdistan and Turkey.
An eyewitness, who doesn’t want to state his name, stated that the landmine was planted by the Turkish Army, and they were the mastermind of the explosion. In addition, the eye witness stated that when the explosion occurred the Army teams, which were too close to the place of the incident, were too reluctant to take necessary measures and steps to prevent further damages and destruction to the place.
Although the assassination was committed by the Turkish Army and agents, several western newspapers and media agencies such as VOANews.Com distorted the truth by stating that the Kurdish peoples defence forces (HPG) killed four Turkish civilians.
