Despite being a successful nurse, Gulhan Koseler was dismissed from her profession without any investigation, pretexting that her husband was arrested. As a result, Mrs Koseler, the mother of three children, got cancer due to the stress and suffering she experienced. She tried to continue to take care of her detained husband and children despite her illness, but she passed away on November 18, 2018.

No investigation was opened against her, but she was dismissed from the profession simply because the regime arrested her husband. Gulhan Koseler tried to be both mother and father to her three children while her husband was in prison. The young woman was almost sentenced to social death under the regime’s pressure.

She got cancer caused by the stress and sadness she experienced, and her discomfort increased day by day. Mrs Koseler, who had to take care of her imprisoned husband while her treatment continued, could not fight the disease, and she died. She left Enes, Nalan and Nilgun behind.
