The Şırnak death well trials are trials in Turkey in relation to the unsolved murders of 55 people in the mid-1990s in the area of Silopi and Cizre in Şırnak Province. It is alleged that the Turkish Gendarmerie unit JITEM was responsible for abducting at least nine people and dumping their bodies in acid wells. It is alleged that this unit was under the command of local Gendarmerie commander Col. Cemal Temizöz, who was commander in Cizre from 1993 to 1995. Temizöz, who faces nine life sentences, denies the charges. Former Cizre Mayor Kamil Atağ is also a defendant. The murders have been linked with the Ergenekon organization.
