FOUR health workers have been locked up on terrorism charges in Turkey for treating a 10-year-old child who was injured by security forces during a military curfew in 2015.
A doctor and three nurses were held on Monday after they attended a police station in Cizre in Turkey’s largely Kurdish south-east.
They were charged with “membership of a terrorist organisation” — namely the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) — and will appear in court at a later date.
