İYİ Party Deputy Çömez: They have crushed the testicles of baby boys.

The defendants of the Newborn Gang, which caused the death of newborn babies in Istanbul, appeared before the judge for the first time. İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Turhan Çömez made a chilling claim in a statement he made in front of the courthouse.

"THEY SQUASHED THE TESTICLES OF MALE BABIES TO ROT THEM"

Çömez said: "They squashed the testicles of male babies to rot them. They rotted them! I have the documents. They share photos among themselves. Without shame or embarrassment, they send grinning emojis while doing this. There are documents for all of them. I want to be a participant in the case. What more can I say to Turkey?

"THEY KILLED CHILDREN TO STEAL FROM THE STATE"

They handed over their babies, who couldn't even hold their offspring, couldn't breastfeed, couldn't read the call to prayer in their ears, couldn't whisper their names, to these gangs. So what did the gangs do? They killed children to steal from the state. When you look at the reports of the murders of 12 babies, you will see that they were starved.

"THE CHILDREN WERE JUST SKIN AND BONES"

The children were starved for days, they were left as skin and bones. Many names are still not in the file. A significant portion of the names I have is not here. I will give just one name; Opara baby! Open the case file, and you will see. Do you know what it says in the case file about how Opara baby died? 'The nurses applied incorrect treatment. It was in an inadequate intensive care unit, and that is why it died.'
