Kiziltepe court case opens

Ahmet Kaymaz and his 12 years old Ugur Kaymaz were killed by the security forces in Kiziltepe on November 21.
The indictment tabled by the office of the Mardin prosecutor said that the security forces went to the house of the Kaymaz family after receiving information from the gendarmerie that the residence would be used in attack of the terrorist organisation PKK. The document also said that weapon allegedly found next to the father had been used in attack against a police station in Mardin on August 7.
The court case has been opened due to claims that the killings were not warranted in self defence.
Despite earlier official reports suggesting that the killing happened during an exchange of gunfire a parliamentary report said that were no signs of conflict at the scene of incident.
