人權觀察:土耳其必須調查平民死亡事件
Human Rights Watch said Tuesday that Turkey needs to control its security forces and investigate the deaths of civilians who were killed during police operations and clashes with armed groups in recent months.
人權觀察星期二說，土耳其必須對本國安全部隊加以控制，並對近幾個月來警方行動以及警方跟武裝組織發生衝突所造成的平民死亡事件展開調查。
The group said it documented 15 such deaths in a limited investigation and that local groups report more than 100 deaths since July.
人權觀察說，他們在一次範圍有限的調查中記錄到了15起這類死亡事件，而當地有組織報告說，自7月來已有100多名平民死亡。
Turkish forces launched a new offensive in July against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in southeastern Turkey, a move that ended a cease-fire of more than two years. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan further pledged in November to continue until every one of the militants was defeated.
今年7月，土耳其軍隊在東南部地區對非法組織庫爾德工人黨發動新攻勢，致使持續兩年多的停火宣告結束。土耳其總統埃爾多安11月誓言繼續進攻，直至打敗庫爾德工人黨的所有激進分子。
Human Rights Watch said the state had put neighborhoods under curfew and cut off people's access to water, electricity and food.
人權觀察說，土耳其當局在當地實行宵禁，並斷絕水電和食品供應。
Turkey, the United States and European Union all consider the PKK to be a terror group. The conflict between Turkey and the PKK has left 40,000 people dead since 1984.
土耳其、美國和歐盟都把庫爾德工人黨視爲恐怖組織。自1984年以來，土耳其當局與庫爾德工人黨之間的衝突已造成4萬人死亡。
