Despair of sister of soldier murdered on the bridge on the morning of the coup

Mehtap Tekin, elder sister of Air Force Academy student Murat Tekin, who was killed on the Bosphorus Bridge on the evening of 15 July, voiced her reaction to the decree with the force of law that has courted controversy over it being a protective shield for AKP militias.

 The provision, “Civilians who acted while participating in quelling the coup attempt that was staged on 15 July 2016 and acts of terrorism and acts constituting their continuation will bear no penal liability” was included in the Decree with the Force of Law number 696 that the AKP government promulgated the day before yesterday.

 “They told us to seek our rights through the judiciary but they have closed the judicial door in our faces, too.”

 Mehtap Tekin, elder sister of Air Force Academy student Murat Tekin, who was killed on the Bosphorus Bridge on the evening of 15 July, voiced her reaction to this article in the decree that has courted controversy. Mehtap Tekin posted a video on Twitter with the message: “They told us to seek our rights through the judiciary but they have closed the judicial door in our faces, too. They have taken our last hope from our hands, but, even if I lay down my life, I will not be intimidated over my brother, who told us to stand tall! I call out to those in authority, do not look for treason among the students and privates, and grant us legal recourse and try the murderers.” Mehtap Tekin, stating that legal recourse had been removed under the decree, repeated once more that they had frequently been targeted and her brother had been murdered.
