ANKARA - A report was prepared about the social media post of HDP Van Deputy Muazzez Orhan regarding the acquittal of the police who killed Kemal Kurkut.

 

A report was prepared against Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Van Deputy Muazzez Orhan for sharing a post about Kemal Kurkut, a university student who was killed by the police back in 2017 during Newroz celebrations in Diyarbakır.

 

Orhan, the subject of the report submitted to the Parliament and his post on his twetter account on November 17, 2020, is as follows: “The police who murdered #Kemal Kurkut was acquitted for lack of evidence. How is a photo of him shooting Kurkut not an evidence? When the person who is killed is Kurdish, murder is not a crime."

 

Orhan is accused of 'inciting the public to hatred and emnity'

 

THE POLICE WAS ACQUITTED
