One year has passed since the death of 8-year-old Narin Güran, who was murdered after going missing in Diyarbakır. Speaking at Narin's grave, her father Arif Güran said, "Our perspective on the world is gone; we can no longer even enter society. Right now, it is my 80-year-old mother-in-law who takes care of my children and family. There is no one else. A savage killed my daughter, but the court buried my family alive."

On August 21, 2024, Narin Güran, who went missing in the central Bağlar district of Diyarbakır, was found dead on September 8. It is the second anniversary of her death. Father Arif Güran said, "Our perspective on the world is gone; we can no longer even enter society. When the eyes of a society are constantly on you, you cannot behave comfortably in that society."

The family reported 8-year-old Narin Güran missing on August 21, 2024, in the rural Tavşantepe neighborhood of the district, and her body was found in a sack in the Eğertutmaz Stream near the village on September 8, 2024. Narin's father, Arif Güran, stated that they have no life or joy left because the joy of their home, their life, is gone. Güran mentioned that he would hold a meal and recite the Mevlid-i Sharif for his daughter on the 21st, inviting everyone.

"MY 80-YEAR-OLD MOTHER-IN-LAW IS TAKING CARE OF MY CHILDREN AND FAMILY"

Güran recalled that last year, between the 21st and 23rd, thousands of people began to report on this case, saying, "This family is very strong, this family is a tribe, this family is wealthy. I only say this. Fire burns where it falls. Right now, I am only with my daughter. Where is this tribe? My 80-year-old mother-in-law is taking care of my children and family. There is no one else."

"THE COURT BURIED MY FAMILY ALIVE"

Güran, stating that "80 million people, both in Turkey and abroad, supported my daughter. But despite supporting my daughter, they destroyed my family," continued:

"A savage killed my daughter, but the court buried my family alive. Justice is needed for everyone, and it is needed for me too. Unfortunately, the reports and evidence that come out today are not taken into account in any way. The Supreme Court prosecutor reads 19 folders in 19 days, approves them, and sends them to the Supreme Court judge. Some things do not make sense to people. How did you read 19 folders in 19 days? There is no such fast trial. I am 44 years old; I only knew that courts existed in courtrooms. Courts make decisions through social media. May God not leave my daughter's rights unaddressed. Our perspective on the world is gone; we can no longer even enter society. When the eyes of a society are constantly on you, you cannot behave comfortably in that society."

Güran noted that his wife, son, brother, and sister-in-law, who came from Van two days after the incident, have been in prison for 10 months because they mistakenly said 17:00 instead of 15:00. "They released all the others from the Güran family, except for six of us. Together with Nevzat, there are seven people," he said.

"THEY DISTRIBUTED PUNISHMENTS BASED ON A KILLER'S WORD"

Güran stated, "The reports indicate that Salim's phone was reset at the police station. I call out to my state officials. We are dying every minute, every second, every day. Based on what is this punishment given to these people? Punishment was given based on a killer's word. They officially distributed punishment based on a killer's word. Real evidence is coming out, for example, the step counter found on Salim's phone. We will carry this pain here until we die," he expressed.

PUNISHMENTS GIVEN

In the case regarding the murder of Narin Güran, the Diyarbakır 8th High Criminal Court sentenced mother Yüksel Güran, uncle Salim Güran, and brother Enes Güran to aggravated life imprisonment for "intentional murder of a child in participation," while Nevzat Bahtiyar was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months in prison for "destroying, concealing, or altering evidence." This decision was also found to be in accordance with the law by the Diyarbakır Regional Court of Appeal 1st Criminal Chamber.
