Today, the human shield protests against Turkey's ongoing aerial bombardment of the Federal Kurdistan Region of Iraq are entering their fourth day in the area between Deri Davetiya and Deri Berkur in Uludere, a region of Şırnak.
During the protest last night, three people fell ill, however soldiers did not allow ambulances to reach the ailing demonstrators. Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) Parliamentarian Nursel Aydogan went a village to obtain medical assistance, but Turkish soldiers blocked the road.
Despite the all interference and hardships, the Peace Mothers Initiative continues to protest the operations.
BDP parliamentarians Nursel Aydogan and Emine Ayna came to the demonstration area to support the Peace Mothers.Soldiers established a check point in Ortasu Village where they are preventing food and medical equipment from coming in or out of the area.
Kurdish youth take the control
The Peace Mothers Initiative are trying to block the Army from performing operations. Kurdish youth also took control of Turkish Army transition points along the roads to the mountains. Soldiers are now implementing identity control in the area.
Despite all the hardships and operations in the Kurdistan Federal Region, demonstrators have not given up. They have been making their Ramadan iftaar meals in the protest area with food distributed at sunset. Protest activities continue into the night with tea and panel discussions about upcoming events and the air-strikes in the Kandil Mountains. After these discussions, young thespians make sketches for the human shields.
