While discussions continue regarding the Epstein files that have resonated in the public, a striking statement came from Mustafa Destici, the Chairman of the Great Unity Party. Destici emphasized that crimes related to child abuse cannot be treated merely as individual cases, calling for the heaviest penalties to be reconsidered, and stated, "Protecting the homeland begins with protecting children."
Mustafa Destici, the Chairman of the Great Unity Party (BBP), made a written statement on his social media account regarding the developments known to the public as the "Epstein files." Destici emphasized that the heaviest sanctions against child abuse should be brought back to the agenda.
"CHILD ABUSE IS A GLOBAL CRIME"
In his statement, Destici pointed out that the Epstein case shows that child abuse is not an isolated incident, stating, "The Epstein scandal has revealed the truth to us: Child abuse, kidnappings, and murders are not only individual acts; they are part of an organized and global structure."
"THIS ISSUE IS A WORLD POLITICS PROBLEM"
Destici argued that crimes committed against children are ignored due to global power balances and political interests, indicating that this situation has turned the issue into a world politics problem as well.
"A CLEAR THREAT TO THE FUTURE OF THE NATION"
Noting that organized and unorganized inhumane acts against children target the fundamental human rights of life and security, Destici expressed that these crimes pose a clear threat not only to individuals but also to the future of the nation, the social structure, and the survival of the state.
"THE HEAVIEST PENALTIES MUST BE DISCUSSED AGAIN"
Claiming that the current sanctions have lost their deterrent effect, Destici stated that it is necessary to reconsider the heaviest penalties, including the death penalty and life imprisonment without parole, in a legal and social context.
"THOSE WHO TOUCH CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE"
Using strong expressions at the end of his statement, Destici said, "We have been at the same point for years and we insistently propose. Once again, we say that those who touch children should not have the right to live."
