Turkey court jails two men for raping and murdering university student Sule Cet in a case which became a rallying cry for in the campaign to end violence against women
The case about the death of university student Sule Cet has been concluded on December 4, 2019 in Ankara, Turkey, with the defendants sent to prison for decades. Here, her father Ismail Cet holds a picture of his daughter who was pushed from the 20th floor of a high rise building. The sign says"We will not remain silent".
Ankara's 31st High Criminal Court sentenced Cagatay Aksu to life in prison for murdering Cet plus another 10 years for sexually assaulting her and two years for holding her against her will. Aksu initially testified that Cet tried to commit suicide and he had tried to prevent her. The other defendant, Akand, said he was present in the office but had fallen asleep, and did not see anything.
There was also an attempt to suggest Cet was somehow to blame because she drank alcohol, and there was uproar at a hearing earlier this year when the defence lawyers speculated over Cet's virginity. Ceren Ozdemir, 20, was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant while she was entering her apartment building. An ambulance called by witnesses rushed the student to the hospital where she died of her wounds.Ozgur A. who confessed to the murder, had escaped from prison and followed Ozdemir to her doorstep.
