AMED - Nizamettin Kabaiş stated that his daughter's case was tried to be closed as "suicide". He says, "We wanted to talk to Rojin's rommate many times, but the dormitory director prevented us. She blocked our phone. That means she knows something and that's why she ran away."

The body of Rojin Kabaiş, a university student stayin at Seyyid Fehim Arvasi Girls' Dormitory in Wan, went missing under suspicious circumstances on 27 Semptember and her body was found 18 days later on the beach in Molla Kasım Neighbourhood. While the confidentiality order on the investigation file continued, mainstream media tried to create the perception of "suicide" with the news reports. Despite the 3 months that have passed, suspicions about Rojin Kabaiş's death have still not been resolved. 
 
The father Nizamettin Kabaiş, who has been travelling door to door both in Wan (Van) and Amed (Diyarbakır) from the first day about the fate of his daughter, called on the authorities for justice.
 
CASE WANTED TO BE CLOSED AS 'SUICIDE'  
 
Emphasizing that the case was tried to be closed on the grounds of "suicide", father Nizamettin Kabaiş said that her daughter had spoken to her friend on the phone on the evening of his daughter's death and was waiting for her. Stating that he wanted to talk to his daughter's roommate, the father stated that the dormitory did not allow them to talk and said: "The dormitory director prevented them every time. At first they said 'she is sick' and then they said 'she went to school'. When we wanted to meet again, we were told 'she left'. We had her phone number, but every time we called, she put it on busy and then blocked us. Why would a person run away so much? That means she knows something and that is why she is running away."
 
'WE WERE INFORMED ONE DAY LATER'
 
Blaming the dormitory and the university for the death of his daughter, father Kabaiş said that the two camreas of the dormitory had good shooting quality, but the camera images of Rojin's last moments were in black and white. Reminding that the news of his daughter's dissappearance was communicated to them a day later, father Kabaiş said that the DNA samples of two men were detected in the body of his daughter, but there was no evidence of who she belonged to. 
 
"Samples were taken from 46 people, from the male doctors who performed Rojin's autopsy to the staff there (because of the possibility of such a thing happening due to their contact during the autopsy). But none of them matched her DNA. Of course, it was not found to whom it belonged. It is understood from this that my daughter was harmed. There were beating marks on her leg, throat and back. Also her body was not a body that had been in the water for 18 days," Father Kabaiş said. 
 
Father Kabaiş reacted against the mainstream media and television trying to create the perception of "suicide" without clarifying the cause of his daughter's death.
 
'THE STATE IS THE CAUSE OF MASSACRES'
 
Stating that women, children and young people have been massacred intensively in Kurdistan recently, father Kabaiş continued as follows: "The state has a share in this situation. Because the state either does not punish the perpetrators of these crimes at all, gives them very little punishment or closes the case under the name of 'suicide' without admitting it at all. Murderers must be given heavy penalties. No one should interfere with women and children. Those who disappeared and went unsolved must also be foun. If this system continues like this, massacres will continue to increase. As long as I am alive, I will not forget Rojin and I will not let her case go."
