No statute of limitations for Vedat Aydýn case
The case concerning HEP Diyarbakýr former provincial chair Vedat Aydýn’s murder on July 5, 1991, was saved on the last day from being barred because of time limitations. The statutory time limits for the case has been prolonged for another ten years when Þükran Aydýn, wife of the Kurdish politician, presented identification precept.
Vedat Aydýn was taken from his home by persons identifying themselves as police in 1991 and later was found tortured and killed near Maden, Elazýð. According to Özgür Gündem his wife Þükran Aydýn stopped the process from being barred for time limitations by handing in identification precept to the Chief Public Prosecutors.
Prosecution is investigating the declaration where 8 JÝTEM members are diagnosed among whom is Mahmmut Yýldýrým, with the code name “Yeþil” and has issued a warrant of arrest for becoming a member of a crime syndicate and felonious homicide. Thus the case can continue till July 5, 2021.
Vedat Aydýn, the Diyarbakir branch chairman of the now-defunct People’s Labor Party (HEP), was found dead on a road near Malatya on July 7, 1991. Aydýn’s murder is believed to have been committed by an illegal organization inside the gendarmerie known as JÝTEM, which exploited the vast powers granted it as part of counterterrorism efforts to terrorize locals and control and participate in illegal commercial activity in the region.
JITEM (Gendarmerie Intelligence and Counterterrorism) is a wing of the Turkish Police-Military (Gendarmerie) active in the Turkey-PKK conflict. Officially it does not exist, however this claim is widely rejected outside official circles.
When Aydýn’s body was discovered, his head was smashed, and there were eight bullets in his body. He was immediately buried by the Maden Municipality, and it was later discovered that it was Aydýn’s body. After examinations were conducted, Aydýn was re-buried on July 10, 1991. Unidentified people opened fire on the crowd attending Aydýn’s funeral, leaving three people dead and injuring many others.
