He said more than 60 people have reportedly been killed since early September and urged Washington to halt what he called \u201cunacceptable\u201d operations and prevent \u201cextrajudicial killings\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the administration has defended the operations as counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism efforts, T\u00fcrk rejected that justification, saying drug enforcement is a law enforcement function governed by strict limits on lethal force.
