According to the IHD, 6 persons were killed through brutal interventions of the state, 271 persons have been wounded, 6800 persons have been detained and 3800 persons imprisoned. In Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, 71 journalists are still in prison and several human right activists of the IHD are also among the prisoners.
