Statement (in Turkish with English translation) of Şerif Aksoy to the Kurdistan Human Rights Project as taken by Mahmut Şakar, lawyer, of the Human Rights Association. Şerif states that he did not believe that his son, Zeki Aksoy, was killed because of internal conflict within the PKK ('There is no reason for the PKK militants or some other illegal organizations to kill my son'). He notes that Zeki was a correspondent for Özgür Gündem, an opposition newspaper in Kızıltepe. He states he does not know of Abdülkadir Aydın, the man accused of killing his son by the Turkish Government, and believes that the killing was committed by Turkish security forces. Şerif notes that he was also interrogated and tortured by the security forces. Şakar wishes to keep Şerif's testimony secret for as long as possible because his life is in danger.
