Soldiers broke up the gravestone, told families to destroy it

BİNGÖL - A large number of graves have been destroyed in villages in the countryside of Bingöl province.
 
The extermination of the Turkish army against the graves of Kurdish warriers that had died continues. After a serious increase of systematic destruction in April in the provinces of Van and Diyarbakir, the same thing has now spread to other regions. A large number of HPG member's graves have been destroyed in the cemeteries in the countryside of Bingöl province.
 
The grave of Sevda Serinyel is also destroyed by the soldiers. The fighter of the People's Liberation Army (Halkın Kurtuluş Ordusu, HKO), died in August 2017 in the Ovacık district in the province of Dersim during clashes with Turkish operational units. Her remains are buried in the village cemetery of Karer in Adaklı district.
 
Serinyel’s family was called and summoned to military station on April 14. The outpost commander asked the family who had put up that tombstone and written the inscriptions on it. The family was then ordered to remove the tombstone. The family rejected the order, saying that there was no inscription on the tombstone that constituted a crime.
 
After this, Turkish soldiers desecrated Serinyel’s grave and removed the inscriptions “Mercan” and “We died so much to live”.
 
After the incident, soldiers repeatedly called the family, putting pressure on them to remove the photo on the tombstone. Family members of Serinyel then started to keep watch at the cemetery to prevent another attack.
 
On the other hand, Turkish soldiers desecrated some graves of HPG members in the villages of Gözeler (İbrahiman), Karer and 9 other villages inhabited by Alevi people. Soldiers then called families and told them to “remove the broken stones”.
