Medical reports confirm
boy was beaten, family files complaint
Turkey, Feb 24, Medical reports have
confirmed allegations that an 11-year-old boy was
tortured by police in Istanbul's Bagcilar district,
reported daily Radikal yesterday.
According to the report, the boy and his friends
were detained for a day after a demonstration in
Bagcilar on Feb. 15 to support the rebel Kurdistan
Workers’ Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan on
charges of being involved in the group's separatist
acts.
The boy claimed that he was beaten with sticks,
punched and kicked in a dark room and that his head
was banged against a wall. He was kept in custody
for a day and released after being questioned by the
public prosecutor’s office.
Medical reports have confirmed that he suffered
injuries to the head, lips and teeth and that he'd
been beaten.
The boy’s family went to the Foundation for Legal
and Social Studies (TOHAV) on Feb. 18 and they then
filed a complaint with the public prosecutor’s
office against the policemen that allegedly beat the
boy.
