# OLAYA DAİR ÖNCEKİ HABERDEN BİR KESİT:
14 yaşındaki Y.D’nin 22 Mart’ta savcılığa verdiği ifade de basına yansıdı. Y.D. ifadesinde şunları söyledi: “Zırhlı polis aracı beni kovaladı. Kaçarak bir binaya girdim. Polisler binanın kapısını kırıp içeri girdiler. Beni sürükleyerek ve vurarak, zırhlı araca bindirdiler. Aralarında ‘Işığı kapat, MOBESE kamerasında görünmesin’ dediler. Uzun namlulu silahın dipçiğiyle vücudumun farklı yerlerine vurdular. İki elimden, ellerim yüzümün önünde olacak şekilde boynumdaki puşiyle bağladılar. Artakalan kısmı boynumun arka tarafından bağlayarak sıkıp beni **boğmaya çalıştılar**. ‘Kürtlere, Öcalan’a küfredeceksin. İstiklal Marşını, Mehmetçik şiirini söyle. Şiiri sabaha kadar ezberlemezsen sırtına koyduğumuz GPS ile seni bulur ve **öldürürüz’ dediler**. Bu olaylar 40 dakika sürdü.”
Y.D.’ye [işkence](https://www.birgun.net/etiket/iskence-1600) eden polislerin ifadesi de ortaya çıktı. Polislerden 4’ü iddiaları kabul etmezken biri ise “Kademeli olarak güç kullandık” dedi. Polislerin çocuğu aldıkları yer noktasındaki çelişkili ifadeleri ise dikkat çekti. Zırhlı araç içerisinde uzun namlulu silah ile mağduru darp edecek herhangi bir hareket kabiliyetinin olmadığını belirten polis amiri A.O., Y.D.’nin, fotoğraf teşhis tutanağında “Kafama, gözüme ve sırtıma tüfeğin dipçiğiyle vuran ve videoya çeken kişi” olarak tespitini, “Beni göstermesi son derece normaldir çünkü ilçenin emniyet amiriyim ve herkes beni tanır” şeklinde savundu. İfadesinde 14 yaşındaki Y.D.’ye yönelik güç kullanıldığını kabul eden polis memuru İ.A. ise “İhbar olunan yere geldiğimizde kalabalık grup dağıldı ve içlerinden birisini olay yerinin hemen yanında bir binanın bahçe duvarının kenarında yakaladık. Kendisi bize karşı direndi, biz de kademeli olarak güç kullandık” dedi.
H.Ç.ise, “Mağdur bizzat Nevruz olaylarının gerçekleştiği alanda ateşin yanında toplumsal olaya katıldığı esnada araca aldık. Araca alma sebebimiz ise içlerinden birini alıp işlem yaparsak olaylar da sonlanır diye düşündük” ifadesini verdi.
**‘KÜRT ASILLIYIM’**
Savcılığın tutuklama talebine karşın Lice Sulh Ceza Hâkimliği’nin polis amiri A.O.’yu serbest bırakmasının gerekçesinde ise “Kürt asıllı olduğunu beyan etmesi yine mağdurun beyanlarında geçirdiği gibi şüphelinin Kürtlere küfredilmesine zorlamış olmasının hayatın olağan akışına uygun olmaması” ifadeleri yer aldı.
