Elsewhere the report shows that 305 people died as a result of landmine explosions, 1,662 were killed for disobeying warnings by the police or gendarmerie, 781 refugees died while they were in transit and 86 people died while under custody. Thirty people died while on a hunger strike protest.

According to the report, the total number of curfews between August 2015 and January 2020 is 381. Between August 2015 and August 2016, 321 people lost their lives during the curfews.

CHP deputy Sezgin Tanrıkulu drew attention to the pandemic period in his report and spoke of the health workers and motor couriers who lost their lives during the pandemic. “We respectfully commemorate 361 healthcare workers who died while serving during the pandemic, and 160 motor couriers / service personnel who lost their lives on the roads while serving people who were locked in their homes”, he said.
