The first hearing of the case of the police attack against the demonstration organized on the first month of the death of Reşit Kibar, who was murdered in an armed attack while struggling against the plunder of nature in Artvin Cankurtaran, was held on October 6 at the 18th Criminal Court of First Instance.
On October 3, 2024, during a demonstration in front of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, Halkevleri members wanted to deliver a file containing the demands of the people of Artvin to the ministry, but the police prevented the demonstration. Lawyer Mustafa Avcıoğlu dislocated his arm during the attack.
In the lawsuit filed against Deputy Commissioner Osman Pirinçci on charges of “exceeding the limit in the authority to use force” and “intentional injury”, the defendant police officer claimed that the intervention was in accordance with the law. At the hearing, the complainant lawyers’ requests for witnesses to be heard were rejected. The prosecutor demanded the acquittal of the defendant. The hearing was postponed to January 28, 2026.
