"After the brutality at the walls, the police issued an 'alert' in 81 provinces."

Research continues regarding Semih Çelik, who brutally murdered two young girls, both 19 years old like himself, before jumping from the walls to commit suicide on Friday in Istanbul.

IT EMERGED ON HIS PHONE

An examination of Çelik's phone revealed that he communicated with individuals referred to as "incels" in a group he was a member of through a messaging application.

WHAT DOES "INCEL" MEAN?

"Incel," which is an abbreviation of "involuntary celibacy," refers to individuals who harbor animosity towards women and the society they live in, and who are prone to violence.

POLICE WENT ON ALERT

Following the heinous murders committed by Semih Çelik, the police took action across 81 provinces after receiving "supportive" and "praising" messages from individuals fitting this description, particularly on the social media platform Discord.

MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE BEGAN ON THE INTERNET

It has been learned that cyber patrol teams have started monitoring accounts and sites that publish and share content related to sexual violence, as well as racism, with a focus on the "incel" movement, using a 24/7 method of surveillance on the internet.
