He graduated from the university with the first place. He placed 3rd in the TUSS exam

Radiology specialist, who is imprisoned in Silivri Prison, Dr. İbrahim Halil Özyavuz died under torture. The death of Ozyavuz, who had said to his father that he was tortured when he had came on visitday, was called suicide. In the examination made on the objections of the family, when the signs of beating appeared on Ozyavuz’s lifeless body, a statement was made that “he killed himself by beating”. When the family did not accept this explanation, the next lie was “the guys in the same ward have beaten to death”.

His story was a life story that went from poverty to success, just like young people in other provinces of Anatolia. Dr. İbrahim Halil Ozyavuz had the right to study in Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine by picking cotton and studying in the Harran district of Şanlıurfa in 2007. He graduated from university with first place. Like tens of thousands of innocents after 15 July, he was arrested at the beginning of May 2018 on the grounds of BylockA month later, it was announced to the public that he committed suicide in Silivri Prison. Human rights defender and deputy Omer Faruk Gergerlioglu was the first to show sensitivity to the issue. Referring to the subject on his Twitter account on June 3, 2018, Gergerlioglu said, “How many suicides, how many cruelties!

Radiology specialist, who was imprisoned in Silivri Prison, Dr. İbrahim Halil Ozyavuz died under torture. Having said to his father, who came to visit him in the prison, that he was tortured, Dr. Özyavuz’s death was called “suicide”. In the examination made on the objections of the family, when the signs of beating appeared on Ozyavuz’s lifeless body, a statement was made that “he killed himself by beating”. When the family did not accept this explanation, the next lie was “the ward mates have beaten to death”.

´They made a lie up that ‘he committed suicide by battering himself’

The suicide lie of the police and prison officials soon faltered. The allegations that Ozyavuz died under torture came to the fore. Relatives of Ozyavuz said to journalist Cevheri Guven  that Ozyavuz died under torture. Beating marks appeared on Ozyavuz’s body. Thereupon, the official authorities, who called his death a suicide, changed their mouths and made up a mind-blowing lie by saying, ‘he killed himself by beating’. Later on, they tried to get away with it, saying that the ward mates have beaten to death.

There was no effective investigation into his death under torture. Journalist Cevheri Güven, who received information from the family and relatives of İbrahim Halil Ozyavuz, who was buried in Harran on June 5, 2018, explained his impressions in Bold News in a video he published. Güven summarized the allegations and dark points regarding Ozyavuz’s death as follows: “His mother and father went to Istanbul after his death. There they are told that İbrahim Halil Ozyavuz committed suicide. Then the family says, “Our son cannot have committed suicide.” They were not told anything about the way he committed suicide. They were only said that he had just committed suicide.”

Contradictory statements from the police 

“After a while, the family´s pressure on the police increased. This time law enforcement changed the statement. They said, ‘He beat himself to death.’ Of course, this didn´t make sense to the family either. But the police have a reason to say that.It was because there are various signs of assault on the body.

When the family insisted it was not possible, this time the information given to the family has changed for the third time. Finally, they said that his friends in the ward had beat him to death. This didn´t make sense to the family either. Because if such a murder were in question, someone would have to be detained and questioned again. Again, a separate action should have been initiated against them, the evidence had to be collected… There is none.”

‘THEY WILL KILL US, TOO, THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT’ 

“When the family increased the pressure again, the attitude of the police changed towards the family. Then they began to see them not as a family that had lost their child, but as a hostile family. They put pressure on the family and the family fell silent. “

While the family is waiting in front of the morgue at the hospital, something interesting happened. His friends who came to take the funeral witnessed a sentence of his father. The father said, ‘When I went to visit him two weeks ago, my son said he was tortured in prison, I didn’t believe it.’ and he screamed, ‘They killed my son’.”

İbrahim Halil Ozyavuz, who gained the right to study at the Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine by passing the university exam for which he prepared in the cotton field in 2007, completed the school in the first place. He was arrested in May 2018 due to Bylock, which was the reason for the arrest of tens of thousands of people after July 15.Then his dead body was delivered to his family from Silivri within a month.
