Workers’ Party of Turkey (TIP) MP Barış Atay was attacked after the targeting of Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu on social media with insults. A five-people group attacked Atay around 1:30 AM due to being a “traitor” after he was leaving a place he went with his friends in Kadıköy.
Atay wrote on social media about Musa Orhan, who was released after being arrested due to “major sexual offense” against 18-year-old İpek Er (who died after being hospitalized due to her suicide attempt in Siirt). Atay said to Soylu, “You protected a serial rapist… We will always work so you will face this for your entire life, so that you will never forget this.” Soylu replied to Atay’s tweet with the words, “You are a residue of the PKK and DHKP-C, who became an MP from the HDP after the orders of rapist PKK executives. I can’t be a ‘rapist protector’, but you easily make a rapist yourself. Tuma’s protector, be careful not to get caught…”
