On August 21, in the Bağlar district of Diyarbakır, 8-year-old Narin Güran, who went missing and was found dead in Eğertutmaz Stream on September 8, was the subject of some news on social media and press outlets stating, "It has been confirmed that she was killed at her father's house." In response, the Güran family made a statement.

In a written statement made on behalf of Narin's father, Arif Güran, and family members Ali Rıza Güran, Hüseyin Güran, Erhan Güran, and Mehmet Şerif Güran, it was stated that on October 6, some media outlets and social media reported, "It has been confirmed that Narin Güran was killed at her father's house. The report regarding the DNA examination and narrowed HTS records has been added to the investigation file," and thus, the need to inform the public arose. The statement included the following remarks:

"ATTACKS ON OUR FAMILY'S HONOR, ESPECIALLY ON OUR WOMEN, CONTINUE"

"Our primary goal is to find and punish the murderer or murderers of my daughter Narin, who was killed on August 21, 2024, with the highest penalty and to ensure justice. While we are in deep sorrow and mourning for losing my daughter Narin due to a heinous incident, unfounded and completely false publications have been made through social media and the press, and ruthless attacks on our family's honor, especially on our women, continue. It has been determined that some social media influencers have produced and spread unfounded news to increase their follower and view counts, while a journalist has been eager to become popular through this tragic event, ignoring the deep and indescribable pain our family is experiencing. In this context, some statements taken from family members regarding the disappearance and murder of our daughter Narin have been distorted, leading the public to be misled."

"FALSE NEWS HAS BEEN PUBLISHED"

"In order to prevent similar attacks on other family members following the murder of our daughter Narin and for preventive measures, it is known that some of our family members installed security cameras in their homes on September 2, 2024. However, false news was published claiming that the camera recordings were deleted retroactively with the intent to create a false perception in the public," the statement continued:

"MOTHER GÜRAN'S STATEMENT WAS DISTORTED"

"Moreover, it has been determined that the statement of mother Yüksel Güran, who indicated that she delivered laundry to Hediye Güran in the morning for washing, was distorted, leading to false news that all carpets and linens were washed. It was also found that the statement of her mother, who said that two people with Enes Güran were smoking, was censored due to RTÜK rules, resulting in her statement being distorted again, leading to false news that Enes was a drug addict. We firmly believe that once the camera recordings from the surrounding villages, where our daughter Narin was last seen on the day of the incident, are examined and the related reports are completed, the murder will be identified with undeniable evidence or the incident will be clarified. At this stage, we think it is essential to wait for the results of the investigation authorities' work and to maintain our trust and faith in the law. It is undoubtedly necessary for the satisfaction of the conscience of our family and society and for justice to be served that the questions of 'who or whom killed our daughter Narin, and why she was killed' are clarified with concrete evidence without leaving any room for doubt, and that the perpetrator(s) of the incident are punished in the harshest way possible.

We express our gratitude to everyone who shares in the pain of our family due to the murder of our daughter Narin, who embraces Narin as if she were their own daughter, feels her pain in their hearts, and follows the investigation, and who sincerely expresses their opinions to clarify the incident. While every individual in society has the right to express their anger within legal and moral boundaries, to satisfy their conscience, to express their thoughts, and to propose possible scenarios regarding why the murder may have occurred, it has been observed that through social media and the press, which exceed this purpose, prejudices without concrete evidence have been produced, leading to attempts to direct the investigation file, disregarding the right to not be defamed, and using excessive expressions containing insults.

"ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE CHASTITY OF WOMEN ARE UNACCEPTABLE"

In this context, it was stated that unacceptable allegations were made against the chastity of the women in the family, and it was emphasized that "In addition to the pain of a family that has lost a child, attacks on the honor and dignity of individuals through written, visual media, and social media with dirty information have created irreparable victimization and have led to the unjustly produced scenarios being perceived as real in the eyes of society.

According to the presumption of innocence, no one is considered guilty until their guilt is established by a court ruling. Until the definitive judgment of an independent judiciary is established, the right of individuals to not be stigmatized must be respected, they should not be declared guilty based on prejudices, and attacks on their honor and dignity should be avoided. Although the proceedings in the criminal investigation file are confidential, it has been observed with regret that potential scenarios regarding the reasons for the alleged crime have been presented to the public as if they were true through social media and the press, leading to misconceptions in the public, disregarding the presumption of innocence, and ignoring the fact that the actual victim of this heinous crime and the person who suffers the deepest pain is, again, Narin's family.

The following was stated in the announcement:

'IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT HE WAS KILLED AT HIS FAMILY HOME' NEWS IS FALSE

"Therefore, a criminal complaint has been filed against those who have made unfounded news and shares that attack the honor and dignity of our family regarding the Narin Güran murder, aiming to completely mislead the public and create a false perception, violating the confidentiality of the investigation and aiming to influence a fair trial. It has been caused to be perceived as true. The news dated 06.10.2024 stating 'It has been confirmed that Narin Güran was killed at his family home. The report regarding the DNA examination and narrowed HTS records has arrived in the investigation file' has been stated to be false by the authorities during the meeting between the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and our lawyers. In our application to the Diyarbakır Chief Public Prosecutor's Office through our lawyers to prevent disinformation, we respectfully announce to the public that we expect a positive response to our request for the public to be informed by the competent authorities and that unfounded news and shares that have not been made by the directly competent authorities should not be taken into account."
