HIS FRIENDS IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL: WHAT HAPPENED TO HAKAN TOSUN?

 

Upon hearing the news of Tosun's death, members and friends of the Climate Justice Coalition gathered in front of the hospital and demanded an answer to the question "What happened to Hakan Tosun?".

  

Climate Justice Coalition member Dr. Demet Parlar emphasised that Tosun had been the voice of nature, life defenders and those who were wronged for years. Parlar emphasised that attacks against climate activists should be prevented, security should be ensured in cities and impunity should end.

  

Lawyer Hakan Bozyurt, a member of the Association of Contemporary Lawyers (ÇHD), stated that there are serious deficiencies in the file and emphasised that two people have been arrested, but images and evidence are not in the file. His friends emphasised that they will continue their struggle for Tosun's death to be clarified and the perpetrators to be revealed.
