From a polling station in the Şirnak mountains – an interview with Hazel, an election observer from Scotland
Sarah Glynn talks to one of two Scottish women who came to observe the elections at the invitiation of the DEM Party. Hazel describes the militarisation of the region and the psychological pressure on voters. She witnessed the mass voting by soldiers brought in from outside the region, and saw the anger and worry in Şirnak (Şirnex) after their election was stolen by imported votes. And she emphasises the power of Kurdish resistance.
