	TORTURE WITH POLICE DOGS

	 

	Stating that the police entered their home with 3 dogs after breaking down the door, Türk said: "They made the dogs attack my husband. My two sons, one at the age of 7 and one 16 were sleeping in their room. My son was so scared of the dogs and he shouted. Their father thought that the police were torturing them so he ran to their room but the police forced him into another room."

	 

	Stating that the police took her to another room and hit her in the head with a gun butt, Tür said she was battered because she tried to protect herself from the dogs.

	 

	THE CHILDREN WERE LAID DOWN

Türk stated that the 3 police officers soon called in some neighbors, told them they didn't do anything to us and made them sign a report.

	 

	Stating that her sons were traumatized after the incident, Türk said: "My younger son has night terrors now. He is always asking about his father. We still couldn't tell him that he is arrested and sent to prison. He can't sleep at nights. The raid effected my sons very badly."
