'THE POLICE STOLE MY GOLD NECKLACE'

 

The young people were first taken to Emin Çavuş Police Station, located in the central Haliliye district. It was learned that the young people, who were held in the police vehicle with handcuffs behind their backs for 3 hours, were beaten after they shouted slogans. The young people then sang the song Bella Ciao (Ciao Bella). The attempts of lawyers who are members of the Association of Lawyers for Freedom (ÖHD), the Human Rights Association (İHD) and the Urfa Bar Association did not yield any results and the back handcuffs were not removed. The police confiscated the teenagers' phones to obtain images.
