The hearing heard statements from defendants Alper Atay, Erdem Karadeniz and Mustafa Ensar Aykal.
The plaintiffs were then given a promise. First, they listened to Atesh’s mother, Saniya Atesh. Atesh said that he had been “dying and coming back to life” for 18 months, and said, “I am the living dead, but in the last four days I have died 22 more times. It’s like I am dead. Everyone is innocent, but my son committed suicide with a gun,” she said.
“One day he came in wearing a steel vest.”
Ateş said his son came to him and said: “Mom, they broke my pen. They are going to assassinate me,” he added.
“One day he came to me with a steel vest on his back. I said, ‘Son, why are you wearing the vest?’ And he said, ‘Mom, they pulled on my rope, but they probably won’t let me.’ I said.”
He got sick in the hearing room.
Saniya-e Atesh said that before her son was killed, he had received numerous threats and attempts to kill him.
Explaining that he waited 18 months for his son’s killers to appear in court, Ateş said, “How many more Sinanese will die? Do they know why they killed my Sinanese? Someone is saying ‘money’. My son will go home and they will even give him money. I am a Turkish man and an idealist. But I am not the idealist they believe me to be. What was the reason for killing my son? I demand that those who killed my son be held accountable. These people will definitely be done. Exposed.” he said.
The hearing was adjourned
Sanieh Ateş became ill and began to clutch his nerves while making his statement. The presiding judge called a break from the hearing and called for paramedics, who treated Ateş in a room outside the courtroom.
Meanwhile, Ayse Atesh shouted, “If this woman dies here, I will hold all of you responsible.” The hearing continued after a break.
