Police Shoots A Youth In Antalya
In Antalya, a city on the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey, eighteen-year-
old Çağdaş Gemik was shot by police officer M.E. for "not obeying the
stop warning" of the police. According to the autopsy done by the
Medical Examiner's Office, the shot that killed Gemik had gone in from
the left side of his neck. The incident occurred yesterday (October
27).
According to News Antalya, police officer M.E. was arrested by the
court on duty, after being questioned by Prosecutor Ümit Yaşar
Özdemir.
The report by the News Antalya stated that M.E. told in his statement
that he had warned two young people to stop and fired his gun in the
air to make them stop.
The written announcement by Antalya Police Department said the police
officers in the neighborhood of Yeşildere had fired their guns after
warning two people on a motorcycle to stop.
According to the explanation given by the Police Department:
"Some suspicious looking people continued running away from the police
officers, not complying with the warnings to stop. Seeing this,
officer M.E. used his gun to prevent their getting away and Çağdaş
Gemik became an x at the scene. The necessary investigation regarding
police officer M.E. has been launched."
According to the ntvmsnbc, Antalya's Police Chief Feyzullah Arslan
announced that M.E. had been suspended.
The same news report stated that the body of Çağdaş Gemik, son of
construction worker Haşim Gemik and housewife Sevgi gemik, was brought
to the Cem house, Alevite house of worship, in the neighborhood
Kızılarık around noon.
Münip Ermiş, head of the Antalya Branch of the Contemporary Jurists
Association (ÇHD), said that the government should apologize to the
public and warn the security forces so that other similar murders
would not be committed.
