HE TALKED ABOUT THE INCIDENT: "CONSCIENTIOUS RESPONSIBILITY"

University student İbrahim Aktan explained his reason for getting involved in the incident with the following words: "I do not approve of violence, there is no excuse for it. I have never even gone to the police station in my life. A girl was being subjected to verbal violence there. I fulfilled my moral responsibility." Aktan emphasized that verbal violence is also violence.

A MESSAGE OF THANKS FROM THE FAMILY

Despite the chaos that followed his intervention, Aktan said he received positive feedback from the family of the person he was trying to help: "The family called and said, 'Thank you for not leaving our daughter alone.'"

SOCIAL MEDIA LYNCHING PROCESS: "THINGS HAVE GONE OUT OF HAND"

Aktan emphasized that he became a target as a result of the incident being spread on social media with incomplete information and images: "I was spread as the 'blue shirt boy'. My identity information, all the details were shared. The dose gradually increased." Aktan said that he received serious threats and that these threats were also directed at his family: "They called me on the phone and said, 'We will kill you, we will cut you up.' Then my father, mother and sister started receiving serious messages. Things got out of hand."
