Attorney Mahmut Şeren talked to kaosGL.org’a about the trial:
“The detainee suspect had two demands during the hearing. The first was a request to investigate Hande Buse Şeker’s involvement in the extortion gang and the criminal record of her. The other was a request to investigate whether the person, who was with the suspect on the day of the event, knew Hande Buse Şeker or not. Both of them were rejected by the Court as they were not relevant to the cause of action."
The hearing was postponed to April 4, on Monday at 11:00 am in regard to the incomplete report expected from legal medicine and lack of result of the warrant written to the Security. One of the expected report from legal medicine is related to the level of seriousness of the physical injury made by one of the trans women. And the other, the warrant was written to the Security, is related to the hearing of a witness, who testified some part of the event. The Court reached a verdict of continuation of detention.
