Şaban Vatan, who has been running a campaign on social media to illuminate the suspicious death of her 11-year-old daughter Rabia Naz Vatan, has made his deposition at the security directorate upon the criminal complaint of Nurettin Canikli, an MP of the Justice and Development Party.
Posting a message on social media, Şaban Vatan has stated that he went to the security directorate with his attorney Ufuk Kılıç.
Vatan has also added that he stated the reasons for his allegations that he previously announced on social media.
Sharing the incident with the public around a month ago, translator Metin Cihan has also posted the following tweet regarding the issue:
Canikli'nin şikayet dilekçesinde Şaban Vatan'ın sosyal medya gönderileri var. Avukat bu gönderilerin neden suç teşkil etmediğine ilişkin bir örnek veriyor. https://t.co/NkMLXbpgA8

In his tweet, Cihan has stated, "In the petition of criminal complaint submitted by Canikli, there are social media posts of Şaban Vatan."
What happened?Rabia Naz Vatan was found injured in front of her home in Eynesil, Giresun on April 13, 2018. While the police records said that the girl committed suicide by jumping from the terrace of her family's home, her father claimed that she was killed. "A car hit my daughter but the hit was not strong enough to result in her death. Those who hit Rabia Naz then brought her near my house to make the incident look like my daughter committed suicide. My daughter lost her life because of blood loss," he said. Vatan said that the person who hit her daughter by a car was the nephew of Eynesil Mayor Coşkun Somuncuoğlu, according to the information he obtained. Vatan also claimed that the case was covered up after the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) Giresun MP Nurettin Canikli intervened in. Minister of Interior Süleyman Soylu met with Vatan in February on the killing of his daughter. He told bianet after that the meeting took 10 minutes. Giresun Chief Public Prosecutor's Office said on Mach 20 that the Görele Chief Public Prosecutor's Office is currently conducting the investigation into the incident and the search for evidence is still continuing. On March 21, Şaban Vatan was taken into custody upon the complaint of his brother and referred to a mental institution for a mental health check. Father Vatan was then released from detention the next day, on March 22. |
