In spite of the statements of the government as ‘ Zero tolerans to the torture’ the violent attitude of the police to the citizens had taken reactions.

Kicking the some youngs, who shouted slogans after the pres statement to protest isolation imposed on Kurdish peoples leader Abdullah Ocalan, by lying them on the ice by the police in the Sanat street had caused reactions in civil society organizations and political parties in Van.

CHD: The police deviates from the laws

The chairman of the Van branch of the Modern Jurists the lawyer Murat Timur said that the statement by government as ‘ Zero tolerance to the torture’ is an empty statement which is proved by last incidence in Van. Timur said that by looking to the last incidences it emerges that all laws are pronunciations.

Especially when looking at the last incidences two days ago the pres statement in the scope of expression freedon was not let. Neither in the constitution nor in the penal code there is such thing about taking permission for the press statement. Making a pres statement without taking permission is a democratic right.

On the one hand the violation of freedom of thought and the practises which are not compatible with the laws. After the police paralyses the person he caught he should tell his legal rights. However the police kicks the faces of the person instead of telling them their legal rights. It was obvious here that the security forces had exercised violence to the people. Our expectation is a start of legal and executive procedure about charged officials, he said.

DTP: Democratic demands had been answered with lynche

Democratic Society Party Van city chairman Hasan Ciftci who stated that the police even does not let people to come to the party said that:

‘None of the practise exercised by the police is within legal context. It is not let to express democratic rights which are a part of freedoms of man. Democratic demands had been answered with lynche in the middle of the street.

This is not practised even in the third world countries. The laws enacted within the scope of the laws of accordance with the EU were violated when the people of the region is at issue. But inspite of the all oppressions we will Express our democratic reactions in legal grounds, we will apply to legal ways about authorities.’
