In the case regarding the death of Batın Barlas Çeki, after the father, the mother Hasret Doğan also stated that her material and moral damages have been compensated and withdrew her complaint; Doğan announced that she would use the compensation she received for charitable purposes in her son's name.
A new development has occurred in the case of 17-year-old Batın Barlas Çeki, who lost his life after being hit by the vehicle of Fatma Zehra Kınık Demir, daughter of former Kızılay President Kerem Kınık. After the father previously withdrew his complaint, the mother, Hasret Doğan, also retracted her complaint. Mother Doğan stated that her material and moral damages have been compensated and announced that she has withdrawn from the case. The process has sparked public debate.
"I WILL DO CHARITY IN MY SON'S NAME WITH THE COMPENSATION"
Following her decision, Hasret Doğan, who became the target of criticism, made a new statement on social media. "Let me make my statement regarding the 'compensation' that everyone is very curious about, and even went so far as to question my motherhood," said Doğan, expressing that the compensation will not be used for personal gain. Doğan stated, "Everyone who has lost a child knows; neither food passes through the throat nor breath through the chest... With this money, which will be used for many charities in my son's name, while children smile, my child's bones will not ache; on the contrary, his soul will be at peace," she said.
Here is Hasret Doğan's statement;
1. Social media is full of people who do not know their limits and can say anything that comes to their minds… Let me make a statement, and I owe this to no one because I am experiencing this pain alone.
2. I did not withdraw from my case; our last court hearing was held months ago, and the case was concluded. Despite all the struggles I fought for 18 months, Zehra Kınık received a ridiculous sentence. No matter how much we rebelled or fought, they could not change the justice system, and neither could I.
3. Those who speak through my motherhood should start with the justice system if they are going to define 'rights and law.' Because it is not my fault that she received a heavy sentence and did not go to jail; it is the inadequacy of the laws! As you know, she did not spend even a day inside.
4. Many people who have never claimed my case for even a day, who have never shared my son even once, and who have shown no reaction regarding Zehra Kınık; today want to share and lynch me, very strange...
5. I wish you had been with us, that you had come to every hearing... Maybe then we could have provided a possibility for the justice system not to dismiss 'crimes committed in traffic' as 'accidents.' Everyone withdrew, and I fought my entire battle alone, against political power.
6. As in every case, the terms 'material and moral compensation' are used in this case as well. It is legal, you see! Those who can think of a mother seeing her child as 'material-moral damage' should please question their own minds!
7. Finally, let me make my statement regarding the 'compensation' that everyone is very curious about, and even went so far as to question my motherhood: You can only 'think' that the compensation given cannot pass through the throat, or you can speculate on this matter, which is not your place. Everyone who has lost a child knows this; neither food passes through the throat nor breath through the chest... While we even take half a breath; I think passing money through the throat and stomach is only a comment from those who do not know this pain.
With this money, which will be used for many charities in my son's name, while children smile, my child's bones will not ache; on the contrary, his soul will be at peace. He is my child; I raised him, I loved him the most, I put in the effort! Just as I dedicated my life to my child to make him happy while he was alive, I will continue to do everything to ensure he remains at peace there.
8. In short, the situation is as follows: I do not want to deal with 'compensation lawsuits' that will last for years. Chasing after these lawsuits seems strange to me. If you allow me; I will live my grief that I could not experience while dealing with a ton of stress running from door to door, case to case. Thank you all.
