The application made by Hatay Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Governorate, for the investigation of seven police officers on duty at the crime scene within the investigation on the killing of Ahmet Atakan, was denied. Atakan had died on September 10, 2013 as a result of the police intervention at the Gezi Park protests in Hatay. The Governorate claimed that Atakan’s blood having been found on tear gas shells collected from the crime scene were not sufficient for investigation permission. The family’s lawyers have objected to the Governorate decree.
