The family of a PKK member has received the dead body of their children in a storage box. The dead body of Agit İpek, who died in a conflict in Dersim in 2017, was sent to the family in a plastic box by cargo in May 2020.

Holding a press statement in Diyarbakır, the MEBYA-DER, an association solidarizing with the families who lost their relatives, has called on the government to stop attacking dead bodies and give people’s dead bodies to their families.
