BATMAN - In Beşiri district, Zeynep Sevim was subjected to torture and threats by her husband and her husband’s brother, who is a specialist sergeant. The sergeant raided the house where Sevim was staying and threatened Sevim and her family, saying, ‘’We came here to shed blood, we are the state.’’
Zeynep Sevim, who lives in the Beşiri district of Batman province, was subjected to systematic violence by Samet Aktaş, to whom she was married. Sevim, who escaped from the perpetrator and went to her family's house after the violence she was subjected to, was not left alone. According to the information obtained by our agency by reaching the family members and the images we obtained, it was recorded that the perpetrator raided the family's house with his brother Cevat Aktaş, who was a specialist sergeant, and threatened Sevim and the family with death.
She was locked in a barn for days with her hands tied
The family stated that Sevim had been subjected to violence before and said: ‘’Sevim left the house twice and came to us. Samet Aktaş, the person she was married to in both, came and apologized, saying that it would not be repeated, and convinced Sevim and took her back to the house. Last week, they systematically used violence on Sevim without stopping. They broke her phone so she couldn't reach us. They locked Sevim in the barn and tied her hands. Later, Sevim found a way and escaped. She stopped the car of someone she did not know on the road and came to us. Samet Aktaş, his specialist sergeant brother Cevat Aktaş, and their father called us on the phone and threatened us with death many times. They raided the house. They stoned the house, saying, ‘’We came here to shed blood, we are the state.’’ They insulted everyone in the house, they said sexist words. We have no security of life, we want to make our voices heard.’’
The family stated that all family members, including Sevim, were in danger and that their daughter was threatened with death and demanded that their voices be heard as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it was stated that the perpetrators were called to testify by the prosecutor's office upon the complaint of the family.
