Another concern was the unlawful killings committed by Turkish security forces, as reported by local NGOs. Those forces killed seven demonstrators in 2008, according to the Human Rights Foundation, which also placed the number of suspicious deaths of prison inmates at 32, more than half of which were "reportedly suicides".
Još jedan problem su protivzakonita ubistva počinjena od strane turskih snaga bezbednosti, o kojima izveštavaju lokalne nevladine organizacije. Te snage ubile su sedam demonstranata u 2008. godini, tvrdi Fondacija za ljudska prava, koja takođe procenjuje da je bilo 32 slučaja sumnjivih smrti zatvorenika u zatvorima, od čega je polovina zvanično proglašena "samoubistvom".
