Hêlin Öncü finally taken to hospital after ECHR decision

During the early morning hours, the unarmed 20 year old Kurdish university student Hêlin Öncü was shot and wounded by Turkish military and security forces during a martial law that has been enforced for the last 34 days. Three other local Kurdish women have gone missing in the attempts to locate her. Security forces blocked off the neighborhood of Cudi, preventing anyone, including the wounded Öncü, from coming in our out.

As news spread an association of lawyers sent an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in order to force the Turkish government to allow the wounded Öncü passage to a local hospital in order to be treated.

A lawyer with the Association of Lawyers for Freedom (ÖHD), Ramazan Demir made the appeal to the ECHR.

The appeal was granted today, the same day, and permission given to Öncü who was waiting with her life to be treated. She was finally sent to the Cizre State Hospital where she remains in critical condition.
