	34 UD 597 PLATE VEHICLE

	 

	Fehmi Tosun, two friends who left home together on the morning of October 19, 1995, never returned. Fehmi Tosun was brought in front of his house in a white Renault vehicle with 34 UD 597 plate, by three people in civilian clothes, armed, with radio, and was taken back to the vehicle by force. Neighborhood residents also witnessed the event. The police, who checked the plate and made phone calls, said there was nothing they could do. The Family Human Rights Association took all legal measures and brought the incident to the relevant units of the government and the public agenda. However, it was not accepted that Fehmi Tosun was taken into custody and he was never heard from again. The case was moved to the European Court of Human Rights when no results could be obtained from the domestic law. However, the AKP government, which accepted the responsibility of the state for the violation of Fehmi Tosun's right to life at the ECtHR, did not fulfill its obligation to ensure an effective investigation in the Fehmi Tosun case. The file, which was decided not to drop due to prescription, was closed.

No matter how many years pass; For Fehmi Tosun, we will not stop wanting justice for all our losses and reminding that the state has to act within universal legal norms.”
