There were fractures in my hand and in the head and feet of my friends. Although two friends sustained serious fractures, they were not taken to the hospital.”

Kara’s aunt, Üezş Karak, who spoke on the phone with her nephew, said his tone sounded bad. “Sedat said to me, ‘I’m glad I came to the phone and talked to you. Today they tortured us. My arm and my friends’ heads are broken. Denounce our situation here.” Karak called for people to be aware of what happened.
