Father of 1-year-old Rabia Naz Vatan, who lost her life due to blood loss in the hospital she was taken to after being found wounded in front of her house in Eynesil district of Giresun on April 13, 2018, Şaban Vatan was detained.
In the written statement made by Giresun Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office on the matter, Vatan was indicated to have been transferred to Giresun Public Hospital Psychiatric Department in order to determine whether he has any illness that would require criminal liability or medical treatment. Vatan has been conducting a campaign on the social media for months for the suspicious death of his daughter to be illuminated. Speaking on his transfer to a psychiatrist for the identification of his mental health condition following a Prosecutor’s Office order, Vatan said, “I was shown as if I received treatment at a hospital, when in fact I haven’t.”
The cause of death of Rabia Naz is claimed to be either suicide or falling from height, whereas Şaban Vatan has claimed that his daughter was run over with a car driven by the nephew of the Mayor, whereas the case was covered up with the interference of Justice and Development Party (AKP) MPs and politicians.
