In 2003, 26 people raped a 13 year old girl. Turkish court's decision : "it happened with her consent"

This grim incident happened eight years ago, in 2003. N.C (this poor girls full name is unknown to the public) was 13 years old then. She was sold by two women to 26 men and those 26 psychopaths raped her. The poor girl had to have 4 surgeries after this. Now she is 21 and has lots of psychological problems. The juristic case was going on for 8 years and this week the court decided that -as a summary- the intercourse between this poor child and 26 sickos happened with her consent. :curse: So most of them are free now or will be free in a couple of years.

I am very very angry like many others in Turkey.
Here is a recent news article hurriyet dailynews

I've joined a FB group which aims to make this shameful and inhuman decision of the Turkish court internationally public and put some pressure on the judiciary system and the lawmakers for taking this awful decision back. Here is the declaration of the group (it's being translated into several languages) :
OPEN LETTER TO HUMAN BEINGS

When she was sold by two women to have intercourse with 26 men most of whom were public servants in 2002, the 13 year-old N.C. made us question our humanity. According to Article 103 of the Turkish Criminal Code children under 15 are not old enough to comprehend sexual harassment therefore there is no need to seek their consent.

By subjecting these sexually abused children to a court case and interrogating them with incomprehensible intensity, labelling them guilty – as it happened with their consent- feels like raping them second time around is torture and a crime of humanity. Moreover by offering the rapists of the child ‘a good behaviour concession’ shames us even more.

Nowhere in Europe where Turkey yearns to belong sexually abused children are not even sent for a physical check to stop adding to their trauma.

Unfortunately this case is neither the first nor the only case in Turkey. It is time to stop this. Sexually abused children have not been protected enough in the Turkish Criminal Code that came into effect in 2005. It is the duty of the government to make this issue the first item on their agenda and do whatever is necessary to do away with this shameful reality.

Judges who are to enforce the inadequate laws should also not become scapegoats. The Government, which is capable of passing hundreds of legislation through the Parliament in any given night can amend how these crimes are punished in a very short time. It is our right to expect this statute from the Parliament in the name humanity.

We the undersigned want to appeal to the consciences of who call themselves ‘human beings’. We need to live in peace in society and need impartial and independent Coroner’s Office and Fair Judiciary to raise our children. Turkey has to stop this bleeding. We invite everybody to be sensitive and ask our community to tackle this taboo and expect the international community to pursue this issue.

I would appreciate if at least some forumites share this statement on their FB page.

Thats better since it is "OPEN LETTER TO HUMAN BEINGS" should be accessed by all.
We can also post the link for the News paper on FB too.
 
I've tried the FB link. It says "no longer available."

I'll check it again and report back.
 
Here's what still pops up for this link:

"This content is currently unavailable
The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page. "

Would it be all right to copy/paste the letter as a note or status?
 
They are changing it to an accessible FB page for everyone. Also i am working on a video with only text of the declaration for easy sharing. I will inform here when it's done. I am sorry that i didn't check before posting that if the FB page is accessible from outside the group.
 
I would like to know when this is done, as well. Someimes i lose hope, and wonder if my facebook posts ever get hrough to anyone, and then i have people tell me they enjoy them, so it helps. In any case, it is better than sitting silent.

Are you sipping is silence?

I hope this girls gets to overcome this monsters and her emotional wounds.
 
I have been following this case with the same frustration as un chien anadolu has and reading the reasoning of judges and other corrupted politicians made me realize more deeply the pathological reality we are in.

In some dark corners of this country public officials rape a girl and those that should protect her claim that she is not being held against her will. Yet, the same people can ask the press to not publish anything because "the poor girl is living her old traumas again"! If you had any sympathy, any conscience and any humanity in you for this girl, you would defend her, stand up in court and say that this law is unjust, it doesn't protect the innocent.

These are the same group of sick people who say: "If raped women would marry their rapists, their cases will not come before us and our workload will be less." Say what? Who the hell you think you are? What is your duty? Where is your conscience?
 
This case is just jaw-dropping. It needs WIDE publicity.

Thank you Laura! Very jaw-dropping indeed. What is most shocking those 26 men are mostly chief officers from several branches of a little city in East Turkey. Army officers, one teacher (the irony here : a religion&ethics teacher), officers and workers from town municipality etc.

Sorry for the delay , but we've been preparing a petition page, also another dedicated web page is being made, i think it will be ready this evening.

Here is the link to petition page :

And here is a video of the declaration:

If this is any indication of our mass human experiential qualities, then methinks this group is in for a world of STS pain.
:headbash: :headbash: :headbash:

edit: By "this group", I mean the whole group of humanity on this BBM. Not this forum group.
