REVUE DE PRESSE-PRESS REVlEW~BERHEVOKA ÇAPÊ-RIVISTA STAMPA-DENTRO DE LA PRENSA-BASIN ÖZETi West alarmed .over reports of internment in Southeast Amnesty International fears children exposed to ill-treatment By Ismet G.lmset Turkish Daily News LONDON- Human rights organizations and officials in Europe and in the United States are alarmed over new reports from Turkey that securi. ty forces have started to set up internment camps in thetroubled Southeast region to hold and interrogate villagers en masse, a cOß¥ressional source in Washington said on Friday. According to the source, United States officials are also looking into the claims which have been heard since early July after the launching of il major Turkish mih~ tary offensive against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) near the province of Diyarbalar. . The TDN has been told that at least two such camps were set up, inDiyaroalar and Hakkari, but that one of them has already been emptied with all civilians released.. . "The reports are truly worrying," said Jonathan Sugden of the international human rights watch dog group Amnesty International in London. 'They are worryino for they suggest the beginning of a new pattern of abuses In the area," he told the .TDN on Friday. Amnesty is geared up to launch a campaign on the issue and to hi~hlight what Sugden refers to as a situation in which "a large number of people are. held in ad hoc camps and, inevitab.1Y, are mo~~ exposed ta torture and iii-treatment. The or~anization, through i~ own . sources In Turkey, has confirmed that at least two such camps were set up in the same week of early July and that one based in Hakkari reportedly h?lds over 1,000 ciyihans including women and children. Reports coming in from the region imply that some of the villagers were evacuated from their settlements and detained only after refusing to join the paramilitary village guards. More than 1,0QO villages and hamlets in the Turkish Southeast have been evacuated for security reasons over the past years and most have been torched, a recent Turkish Human Rights Association report had' claImed. . 70 turkish cfuily news . . "The fact that both of the camps were set up the .same week suggests there may have been an order sent. out. We are now particularly. con" cerned that children are also involved.and they are being detained illegally and are subject to torture," Sugden said: ''We have been workin~ publicly for many months appealing to the CSCE (Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe) to 'send a missIOn to Turkey. This shows that now there is an urgent need for this." According to information reaching London, the first of the two camps was set up near a gendarmerie station in Damlatepe in the Hani district of Diyarba1ar. At least four villages and two hamlets were evacuated by troops and the population was moved to this camp. ''We have been told by witnesses that Dam]atepe camp is now empty. Some of the villagers have gone back to build new houses and others have moved to (the southern province of) Adana," Sugden said on Friday. Damlatepe was set up on July 6. Kurdish sources in Koln, Germany, say there has Qeen no news of the villagers detained by troops in the three weeks since theIr settlements were evacuated and allegedly burned down. They fear that the victims may be subject to torture. The PKK, which has imposed a self-styled ban on the Turkish press, has refused to comment on the development. According to reports reaching London from local Kurdish sources, the internment camps appear to be part of Turkish efforts to contain terrorist activities in the region and to cut off local militia supr0rt for the PKK. Previously Turkey s policy of evacuation was criticised by human rights activists on the grounds that villagers ~ere not being compensated for theIr losses or shown where to resettle. Observers believe this new pattèrn could also be a military filter- Ing process for displaced Kurds. questioning them be.fore they are allowed to migrate tg;o~er parts of Turkey ..Regional Kp,rdlsh sources claim that at least wee such camps have been set up although the presence of only two cQuid be independently confrrmed. '; Amnesty fears' that wh~tev~r the reason thIS new pattern ID vllla~e evacuations could lead to further dISappearances ofKlridish ~ivilians. Such disappearances ~~ve Increased steadilv• in__ the. reoion I> smce 1993. Saturday, lul>'.23, 1994 According to a TDN source in Diyarbakrr the Damlatepe camp was initially sei up when commando and ~endarmerie forces cracked down on me PKK in the fust week of July in the Hani-Lice-Genc triangle, declari~g the àrea off-limits to all outsufers. . Kurdish sources say there was no news from the villagers who were iaken to the camp until they were released. The women and children were the first to be Jet out of the Damlatepe camp. One of the villages evacuated and destroyed during the said operation has been identified as Seleheydan. Since then, all telephone lines to the area have been cut andeven Kurdish activists agree that information 'coming out of the region may not be reliable. There are local claims, however, that a second campwas set up in Topcular, also close to a gendarmerie post. Kurdish activists in Europe say the people from villages in the Selvi (Sivan), Shelmenzin and Caxit dis- . tricts of Genç have also been detained and taken to the camps. . There have also been allegations from Kurdish circles that on July 8, troops accompanied by village guards raided. the Kerwas village of Diyarbakir along with the Mexle hamlet of the same village and torched more than 30 houses on the grounds that the civilians had refused tojoin the paramilitary village guard forces. 'Over 200 people fled to Diyarbakir city center following this raid. According to Amnesty, the second major inte.rnmentcamp has been set up In Beytussebap, Hakkari and currently holds some 1,400 civilians including èhildren. The population of the camp consists of villagers evacuated from their settlements. They have béen stripped of their ID cards, an essential requirement for travel in the war zone, and told by troops that they cannot enter the town. But some have 'managçd to escape and to tell their story. Sources in Hakkari say that 'troops, especially in the Mezra district of Beytussebap, have besie~ed several villages and banned the CIvilianpopulation from leaving the area - imposing at the same time a major food embargo, explained locally as a method to prevent supplies from reaching the PKK. The issue is expected to lead to further international pressure on . Turkey related to the country's unsatisfaciOIYhuman rights record.
