Ankara, October 10 (RHC)-- At least 29 people have been killed in Turkey in protests over the Turkish government’s policies with regard to the ISIL Takfiri group. Latest reports said on Thursday that the protests resumed for the fourth consecutive day in different cities across Turkey.

The latest fatalities came on Thursday evening in the province of Gaziantep, where at least four people died in clashes between pro-Kurdish protesters and the ISIL Takfiri supporters. One individual was also killed in clashes with police in the province of Mardin.

Amnesty International reacted to the recent wave of protests and the use of violence in the country, calling on the Turkish officials to curb the tensions among Turkish riot police, protesters, and the ISIL Takfiri supporters.

The pro-Kurdish demonstrators are protesting the government’s inaction with regard to the crimes the ISIL militants are committing in the Syrian border town of Kobane.

The ISIL terror group launched its assault on Kobane three weeks ago, forcing 200,000 mainly Kurdish refugees to flee into neighboring Turkey.
