In the retrial of the case where the police officer Sezgin K., who killed Uğur Kurt, stood trial, Sezgin K., who had previously been fined 12,100 lira, was this time sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.

The Constitutional Court ruled that the sentence of a 12 thousand cash fine to be paid in 10 installments for the police officer in the Uğur Kurt case was "not explainable" where there is a violation of the right to life.

The Ministry of Interior, which the court found guilty, objected to the verdict that 734,000 TL be paid as fine to the family of Kurt, who was killed by police in Okmeydanı Djemvi.

Istanbul 85th Assize Court overturned another court ruling on the killing of Uğur Kurt by a policeman under the charges of “neglected murder”, advising a retrial under the charge of “possible premeditated murder”.

Uğur Kurt (30), a municipal worker who was coincidentally visiting a cemevi for funeral in Istanbul’s Okmeydanı, died of police fire during a nearby protest dedicated to Berkin Elvan. While clashes resumed all night, 9 were injured including 7 policemen.
