Dilek Doğan, who was shot by police during a house raid in Istanbul last week, has lost her life.

Doğan suffered a critical injury after police shot her in her family house which was one of the addresses targeted during an extensive raid operation in Ataşehir and Sarıyer districts of Istanbul on October 18.

The young woman, who has been receiving treatment at Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital since, has lost her life late Sunday evening.

Doğan's brother said police wanted to kill them because of their Kurdish-Alevi identity.
