The Constitutional Court (AYM) decided that the right to life and the torture ban were violated in the case of draft soldier M.P., who lost his life due to the torture he was exposed to by the guards at the military prison. A summary was prepared after M.P.’s death, which stated, “He attempted to create an environment of chaos.” AYM issued 50 thousand TL compensation to be paid to the soldier’s family and issued a re-trial. Guard soldiers, who beat M.P. to death, have defended themselves with statements like, “He hit his head around on the walls.” Five years later, it was searched whether a camera recording of the incident exists or not; with no results.
