Turkish MP Drops 33-Question Bomb Over Detainee Abuse; Family Network Demands Cops Punished for ‘Naked Search’
A Turkish lawmaker has formally demanded a parliamentary investigation into the alleged abuse of a female detainee, including a reported “naked search,” while a family support network is calling for the punishment of the officials involved.
Deputy Tanrıkulu filed a 33-question parliamentary motion following claims by detainee Fatoş Pınar Türker, who said she faced mistreatment and threats while in police custody [170638]. “Instead of denying and brushing aside these allegations, they must be fully investigated,” Tanrıkulu said, demanding full transparency on the detention procedures and whether any disciplinary actions were taken against accused officers [170638]. Separately, a family support network has publicly condemned the “naked search” incident, stating that such an intervention against a woman’s body is an attack on the dignity of all women and demanding that those responsible be punished [169905]. The network’s call for accountability follows the lawmaker’s detailed account of the procedure, which has sparked public debate over police conduct [169905].
