This image was shared by HDP Deputy Ferhat Encu, who claimed that the photo was taken in Şırnak's Silopi district, which he claimed was 'under attack' by Turkish security forces. However, the image actually dates back to Kobani protests of October 2014, when PKK supporters killed 35 civilians. Meanwhile, a large number of social media users are attempting to counteract the false information with posts underlining that the images are fake, out-of-context or related to different incidents.
However, the photo was actually taken on August 4, 2014 and it shows the dead body of a Palestinian child, Raghad Masoud, who was stored in a freezer, previously used to store ice-cream, because the Kuwaiti hospital morgue was full at the Rafah refugee camp in southern Gaza Strip.
Another strategy of the terrorist group is spreading false information about the situation in eastern and southeastern Turkey. PKK is using social media to provoke people by circulating fake images as if they were taken in Cizre, in an attempt to create chaos in the region and blame the state for incidents that do not even exist.
The outlawed PKK has shifted its strategy to spread terror in urban areas by creating a state of chaos by digging ditches, piling up arms, preventing health officials to provide services and aiming to draw security personnel into clashes to manipulate public perception.
Another image initially shared by the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) on Twitter, which circulated on the web, social media and other media outlets, features the dead body of a child in a freezer. The twitter account of the HDP claimed that the child in the freezer had lost her life in the Cizre protests and cannot be buried because of 'police terror.'
PKK terrorists recently killed a doctor working in Diyarbakır's Kulp district to prevent health services from helping locals. According to the statement of the Ministry of Health, three health officials have been killed by PKK attacks. A health official, Eyüp Ergin, a pharmacist, Yunus Koca and a doctor, Abdullah Biroğul have been killed by PKK terrorists.
