      Cizre (Kurdish town of 50K people) under full curfew for six days now. Residents say it's now a humanitarian crisis.https://twitter.com/zeynep_erdim/status/641571502496849920 …

      Local Kurds from nearby towns started to march Cizre in the 5th day of curfew. Watch live on #periscope @FilizKer: https://www.pscp.tv/w/aL__MTExOTQ1MDE4fDFSRHhsZXJhblhSS0xXTMnQaTJQnnlEEL7FTMIPTHoxHTqEOTcMiERen-dFjw== …

      Cell/internet is cut in Cizre & no journalists are allowed so I can't confirm details. Town of 50K people, confined to homes for six days.

      Some of the dead in Cizre included children. Newspapers reported (& had pics) that one girl's body was kept in a freezer because of curfew.

      People come up with reasons but any reason for detaining 50,000 people in their homes for a week is an admission of massive failure. #Cizre

      PKK is killing soldiers—conscripts, 18-20 who couldn't buy their way out of military service like many politician's sons.Atrocious. No buts.

      And the Turkish state imposing full curfews on large Kurdish towns. I don't see any reasoning that excuses that. It only makes things worse.

      When I point out massive violations of rights of Kurdish people, folks come back to me and say "But PKK." Neither good logic or policy.

          I unequivocally condemn PKK's killing of soldiers. But country still needs de-escalation. Not punishing Kurdish population. Not a good path.

          @zeynep what happened to peace process w/ PKK? Wasn't there some talk of disarming a while ago? Guess that's long gone now.
