The 2016 siege of Sur, also known as the Sur curfew took place as part of the Kurdish–Turkish conflict in Sur district of Diyarbakir in Turkey, lasting for more than 3 months and destroying much of the neighbourhood.[1] Heavy artillery and machine gun fire was utilized in the city,[1] in clashes between Turkish army and police vs the Kurdish militants. At least 25 people had been killed in Sur by early March 2016,[1] with rights groups reporting more than 200 killed by the end of the siege on March 10.[2] The HDP party said that most of the casualties were civilians.[2]
