WITNESS STATEMENTS

 

The phrase "falling from height" in question strengthens the claim of Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Van Deputy Murat Sarısaç made after listening to the witnesses, who states that he was thrown from a helicopter.

 

HDP's Sarısaç said: "The families told that Servet Turgut and Osman Şiban was detained by the soldiers and forced into a helicopter while they were working at the field. The families hadn't been able to find them for the next two days. Both turned up at the hospital 2 days after their detention and witnesses told that they saw one thrown out of the helicopter. Doesn't matter it is true or not, they were both detained and tortured while they were working at their field to a point that they are lying unconscious in an intensive care unit."
