Biography

Ozlem Kuru was diagnosed with cancer due to sadness and stress after her purge. After a while, she succumbed to the disease and died. Her husband, Murat Kuru, was arrested a short period of time later. The psychology of Iclal (6), who lost both her mother and father one after another, deteriorated. The little girl began to receive treatment.

Ozlem Kuru and her husband Murat Kuru were a happy couple living on their own with their little daughter. After the planned coup attempt on July 15, the private school affiliated with the Hizmet Movement, where they worked, was closed with a Degree-Law. Since they could not find a job anywhere, these two teachers who loved their profession started to make a living by selling the vegetables they produced in their gardens. 

Kuru couple were not allowed to work in any school because, like everyone who was expelled by the Decree or was arrested with allegations of being a member of the Hizmet Movement, they were stigmatized as `Gulenist. A job cannot be given!’. Private business owners, who do not want to get into trouble with the regime, do not give jobs to those under the regime’s radar for fear of confiscating their workplaces in Erdogan’s Turkey.
