Four health personnel, one of them medical doctor and three nurses, were detained with house raids in Cizre district of Şırnak. The health personnel were arrested by the court they were taken to due to “armed terrorist organisation membership” due to having treated a 10-year-old during the curfew declared in 2015. Indicating that the arrests are of criminal quality in terms of the universal human rights legislation, Turkish Medical Association (TTB) stated, “Release all health personnel, who were arrested due to performing their professional responsibility, immediately.”
