On March 24, 2026, the Ministry of Health terminated the public service employment of transgender doctor Larin Kayataş for the second time, despite a court ruling. The Ministry also filed a criminal complaint against Kayataş, and a criminal case was initiated. Kayataş stated that the grounds for her dismissal were cited as “disgraceful conduct,” asserting that the action constituted systematic exclusion. Noting that her private life was scrutinized during the process and a comprehensive report was prepared, Kayataş emphasized that the decision violated her right to work.
