Justice for Ferhat and Engin
In October 2007 Ferhat Gerçek was left permanently paralysed after being shot in the back by police, following a dispute over the sale of a magazine. Seven police officers face trial, but flaws in the investigation mean that the officer who shot Ferhat Gerçek may evade justice.
Meanwhile, Ferhat Gerçek is being prosecuted in connection with the dispute and if found guilty, could be sentenced to more than 15 years in prison.
Engin Çeber was arrested one year later in September 2008 for protesting at the lack of justice in Ferhat’s case. He was beaten in custody and died in hospital of his injuries 12 days later.
* the police have “lost” the t-shirt that Ferhat was wearing at the time he was shot (a key piece of evidence).
