Cemal Metin Avcı, who killed&nbsp;Pınar Gültekin, a university student in Muğla, was first sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment. Then the court reduced his sentence to 23 years with the discount of "unjust provocation."The court acquitted Avcı's brother Mertcan Avcı, his mother Ayten Avcı, his father Selim Avcı, his ex-wife Eda Karagün and his partner Şükrü Gökhan Orhan. The verdict reverberated across Turkey and provoked an enormous reaction on social media.<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Another femicide case</h2>On the other hand, the prosecutor declared his final opinion in the trial of Furkan Zıbıncı, the charged defendant who stabbed food engineer Şebnem Şirin&nbsp;to death about three days before this case. The prosecutor demanded that Zıbıncı be sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment without any discount for killing Şirin "by design" and "with monstrous feeling and torment." The prosecutor's request received a standing ovation from the entire hall, including the lawyers.&nbsp;The murders of&nbsp;Pınar Gültekin and Şebnem Şirin have been widely covered by the media, and have garnered great public reaction. In Gültekin's murder, the prosecutor had demanded aggravated life imprisonment for "murder with monstrous feeling."<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">How is it being evaluated? What will happen?</h2>While the justification for the verdict has not yet been declared, Aposto asked Canan Güllü, President of the Federation of Women's Associations of Turkey, for her thoughts on the provision and the possible justification. Güllü stressed that women have been put on trial in many femicide cases and said, "Women have always judged for their clothes, and attitudes and free behavior throughout the trials, even though they were victims, and even though massacre-level deaths caused outrage. However, these women had killed just because they were women, which is why we said the importance of changing the mentality. That mentality has never changed."Describing the judgment as "mind-boggling," Güllü said, "This is why we say that the law died in Muğla. It has also destroyed the crumbs of hope in us. Because the massacre is a series of the actions it contains; when we add up the five actions, each of which should have received almost aggravated life sentences, it will be released after 14.5 years in a case that should have received sentences of up to 200, 300 years. However, in the meantime, with political amnesty, open prison benefit, good behavior discount, the state has fed and will try to feed a criminal who will be among us in nearly 6-7 years." Güllü also emphasized that they will never accept any justification in the reasoned verdict.When we asked about the role of the court in this decision, Canan Güllü said that:&nbsp;"Unjust provocation is expressed as a situation that is reflected on the state of the perpetrator at the incident time and in an unlawful use, it is expressed as a situation that "drives him crazy." We say that 'the subject of femicides is men's hostility towards women,' so there is no state of being out of control. In Turkey, women are killed because they are women. So, the use of a word and an action called unjust provocation here is related to the fact that the judiciary is prejudiced."Asked about her views on Şebnem Şirin's case, Güllü said, "Since the first executive decision here was positive, I think we will not experience the same situation. Let's not lose hope."<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Femicides continue</h2>On the other hand, femicides continue in Turkey, and the murders of women make headlines day after day. About four days ago, a man stabbed the woman he lived with to death in the Yakutiye district of Erzurum.In Giresun province, the body found on the side of the road last day was identified as Keremet Nyshanova's. It determined that Nyshanova has murdered by a man named Metin.On June 17, the lifeless bodies of Syrian pregnant woman Emine El Ali and her son Khalid Mustafa were found in a minibus on the roadside in Gaziantep.Nurten Demirbağ was shot with a pistol by her brother-in-law Namık Demirbağ in Zonguldak and died four days later in hospital.It has emerged that Sevil Kutlu, a mother of 1 child who had been missing for two years in Kayseri, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend.<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Balance Sheet</h2>On the other hand, according to the data from the We Will Stop Femicide Platform, 132 women&nbsp;were killed by men this year.<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Do punishments incentivize crimes?</h2>Canan Güllü, President of the Federation of Women's Associations of Turkey, responded to our question about whether the court judgment was an incentive for this crime by saying, "Those judges made it possible for all women murdered by setting an example of impunity for the perpetrator. The decision of those three men is the reflection of the existence of gender inequality in their minds, the political retreat of the government from the Istanbul Convention, the view of the legal legislation, and the insistence that there is still no definition of violence against women in the legal legislation in Turkey." Canan Güllü gave the following example regarding the attitude of the court:"The prosecutor wants 30 years for the father who abused his four children. This person is under arrest, but the court committee decides that he should try without arrest and decides to take the trial on probation. After the person he sent to the same household is released from detention, he goes and knocks on the door and says, 'If you don't withdraw the complaint, I will kill you. What is the judiciary trying to do? Protection? Protection? Or provocation?"On the other hand, despite the attitude of the judiciary, Güllü reminds us that the struggle is also increasing:"In this process, in which there are no movements to prevent femicides, which have been increasing in recent years, women's empowerment and awareness against femicides are also increasing. On the one hand, we are not developing preventive policies, so a system that we cannot prevent is systematically increasing. In this situation where the perpetrators go unpunished, especially after the brutal attack on Pınar Gültekin, we should know that attacks will surely increase. However, let us also observe that in the process of this increase, women do not submit to the interference in their lifestyles by intimidating and frightening them, that is, they do not obey. That's why the women's movement says "We are not afraid, we are not silent, we do not obey."Moreover:&nbsp;Istanbul LGBTI+ Pride Week events, which were planned to be organized for the 30th time this year, were banned by the Beyoğlu and Kadıköy district governorships to "protect the peace, security, and well-being" and "prevent crime."
