The trial of 22 defendants in relation to the murder of Former Idealist Hearths Education and Culture Foundation President and Hacettepe University Lecturer Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sinan Ateş began on July 1st. The tight security measures taken for Ayşe Ateş drew a lot of attention.

"PRISON LIFE, UNFORTUNATELY, DEEMED FIT FOR US"

In a statement to journalists in front of the courthouse, Ateş emphasized that she does not live a normal life. She said, "I live under intense security measures. I don't live a normal life. I stay at home with my daughters and rarely go out, except for necessary situations; unfortunately, they deemed us worthy of the prison life that my daughters should be living."

"THESE ARE SUCH DESPICABLE MEN..."

Ayşe Ateş, who said, "The security measures are at a very high level, but I don't leave the house anyway," added, "These are such despicable men that I see in them the capacity to point a gun at the guards next to me. I watch the outside from the balcony of my house with my children."

In the prepared 145-page indictment, Eray Özyağcı, the hitman, and Vedat Balkaya and Suat Kurt, who brought him to the scene and fled after the incident, are being charged with "premeditated murder" against Sinan Ateş as joint perpetrators with common control over the act, and aggravated life imprisonment is being sought.
