Turkish riot police attack Kurds for celebrating Newroz – New clashes!
In Yuksekova, which is a district in the Hakkari province of Turkey, Kurdish people have been targeted once again for celebrating Newroz. One Kurdish politician is reportedly hospitalised, Ahmed Turk, and many others injured, including 32-year-old Alaattin Okan who was hit in the head with a gas canister in Êlîh (Batman). Here are some of the pictures from Yuksekova where Kurds were attacked for gathering.
