Grounded #93 ~ 031215

{Özgecan Aslan}

Özgecan Aslan (22 October 1995 – 11 February 2015) was a Turkish university student who was murdered as she resisted a rape attempt on 11 February 2015 on a minibus in Mersin. Her burnt body was discovered on 13 February, with the murder allegedly being committed by the minibus driver and his two accomplices.

The murder caused nationwide outrage and sparked protests across the country on the following days. Thousands of protesters took to the streets in several provinces, with some criticizing the government for its “insufficient response” and alleged normalization of the rape of non-conservative women. It also provoked calls for reforms to combat violence against women more effectively. The case received great attention on social media and prompted women to share their experiences of harassment, with February 16 being dubbed as “Black Monday” due to protests.

On December 3rd all three suspects have been sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment in murder trial of Özgecan Aslan in Mersin.

Attorneys of Aslan family stated that this verdict should set an example for all femicides.
