Sadik Yakut, who informed that the ear of his son was cut off, also father of Imir, Yusuf Imir, said that they are in doubt that their son was executed and they will open a trial after the report of autopsy.

The funerals of Idris Yakut (Serhildan Semse) and Idris Imir (Ciwan Cizire) from HPG, who lost their lives in a conflict, which was occurred in the county of district of Mardin, Dargeçit, were taken to Selimiye Mosque, in Batman yesterday, before burying.

He talked like this; "There were tracks of strokes in his loins like long stripes. On these stroke tracks, there were skins which were occurred with friction. There were burns on his every side. I don’t know, they are what kind of burns. But two bulllets were hit to my son. One of them was to his shoulder, the other was to his trunk. I don’t think that he died like this. Either they killed when he was alive, or they made torture after his death".

He talked like this; "A lot of bones, which were in my son’s foot, were broken.

29 military personnel accused of torture

A military prosecutor has charged 29 members of the military, including a lieutenant colonel, with torturing and beating a conscript to death at a military prison in southern Turkey, the Anatolia news agency reported Thursday.

The accused face charges of torturing a conscript who deserted and was subsequently put in jail for theft. Conscript Murat Polat allegedly died in prison, and his family filed complaints in both civilian and military courts.

The military prosecutor prepared the indictment on the death of the conscript on July 27, 2005. The prosecutor sent the case file to a civilian prosecutor due to the fact that some of the accused have already been discharged from the military.

There are other claims that six other conscripts were tortured in jail, too.

Turkey's human rights record has long been stained with allegations of torture by security forces. (TDN, February 17, 2006)

Man found with wife's head in bag

A man is being held by German police after walking into a petrol station with his wife's severed head in a bag.
The 40-year-old man, of Turkish origin, was covered in blood when he approached the night counter at about 0400 GMT and asked the attendant to call the police.

Hamburg police said officers found the head in a bag on a grass verge and arrested the man, who was in a confused state and admitted killing his wife.

The body of the woman, aged 39, was found in their nearby flat.

Hamburg police spokeswoman Ulrike Sweden said the man seemed "a bit crazy" and may have to see a doctor before charges can be brought.

Daughters safe

She said police found a large knife in the flat in Eissendorf, in the south of the city.

"It seems he used the knife to kill his wife and cut off the head," she told the BBC News website.

The couple's two children - girls aged 13 and six - were found in the flat and taken into police care.

"It seems they didn't see the body or what was going on," the spokeswoman said. A motive for the attack is still unclear.

Both the man and his wife were of Turkish origin, with German citizenship.

Dogs Sexually Abused by Islamists...?

03/29/2006

Pro-islamic municipalities in Turkey are killing stray dogs, animal rights groups claim.


Municipal workers are hunting, torturing and killing the animals by the hundreds, the campaigners say.

The allegations surfaced when Burcu Isikalp, a young veterinary surgeon, went searching for seven strays she had been caring for near her home in the capital, Ankara. Witnesses told her that municipal workers had taken them away.

She went to Ankara's largest refuse dump, Mamak, where she found one of the strays with hundreds of other dogs. "They were all dead, stacked in large pits," she said. "We also found 10 dead puppies in a bound plastic bag. There is a myth among pious Muslims that dogs are unclean."

Animal rights campaigners who accompanied Miss Isikalp last week said that at least two of the dogs had been sexually abused.

The mayor of Mamak, Gazi Sahin, of the ruling pro-Islamic Justice and Development Party, has denied responsibility.
