An investigation was opened against Tursun Foundation Chairman Mehmet Tursun in accordance with Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code (TCK). Tursun Foundation was established by the Tursun Family in 2007 on behalf of Baran Tursun, who was shot dead in Izmir by the police, who claimed that he hasn’t obliged with the “stop” warning. The foundation conducts work for families, who lost their relatives in incidents across Turkey with police involvement.
Chairman Tursun is charged with ‘publicly denigrating the military or security organization of the state’ through his speeches and social media posts within the investigation. “An investigation was opened against a father, whose son was shot dead by the police, due to describing the data in the court records as a ‘cry’. We are now brought into such a situation, that we are scared of even saying, ‘the police killed our son,’” Tursun said.
