Gate between Kobane and Suruc has been open for years in order to support Kurdish forces and also injured people have been brought to Turkish State Hospital. I think they simply lie because at the same time a terrorist Kurdish group PKK -declared as terrorist by UN for years- is attacking from another border and unofficially they have links with this group. You know, politics always suck.

That "terrorist" Kurdish group PKK has been in negotiations with the Turkish state for more than 10 years aiming for peace before their newly formed Kurdish political party HDP prevented Erdogan's AKP to become the sole ruler party in the last elections a few months ago meanwhile AKP decided to suddenly finish negotiations before the upcoming possible early elections excusing the Suruc bombing 2 weeks ago in which meaningfully 32 Kurdish socialists aligned with PKK have died trying to cross the border and join the resistance forces in Kobane fighting against ISIS which by the way is speculated to be backed up by AKP government itself for years and this move of breaking the negotiations is already adviced against by NATO which as you said is listing PKK as a terrorist group for years. I know, politics always suck. That is not an excuse to get rid of free speech though.

We came to Suruc from Stockholm 5 days ago and have since been trying to help the people of Kobane from here. Since the bombing at the Amara Centre the border has been made almost impossible to cross. If you try you will be shot on sight by the Turkish military. We heard heavy calibre shots ten minutes ago from that direction. Even basic aid like water and medecins are difficult to get across. We stopped by the depot for shipments and saw at keast 6 trucks full of water. They were kept there for 4 days before let through. No reason given. There are other worse examples. The point though is that the blocking of our page occured at the same time as when 65 pro-kurdish websites were closed down by Turkish authorities. It's not unlikely this ban is related. It's not difficult to organise a number of Facfbook accounts to mass report pages. Facebook should at least reconsider.
