Events

Berkin Elvan

On the 16 June 2013, Berkin Elvan was in an area where the Gezi Park protests unfolded near his home in Okmeydanı, Istanbul. That day his mother wanted to go out and buy bread, but Berkin said that the streets were too dangerous and because he was younger, he could run faster in case of an emergency. He was later hit on the head by a tear gas canister[8] thrown by the police officer Fatih Dalgalı. However, in another report sent to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was stated that he was found to be carrying explosives when he was brought to the Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital. He fell into a coma and died 269 days later on March 11, 2014.[9] His funeral was held in Istanbul on March 12 and attended by thousands of people.[10] He was buried at the Feriköy Cemetery, Istanbul.[11]

He was unable to receive treatment immediately at the hospital and first medical attention was given after twenty hours.[12][13][14] He remained in a coma due to possible brain hemorrhage for thirty-eight days. He died on July 10, 2013.[15] There were protests due to his death and his statue was erected.[16]
