On Wednesday afternoon a serious case of police violence occurred in the Mevlana district of Bursa. The police abused several teenagers, called them names and threatened them with firearms. According to available information, the minors had unlawfully rented a car. They were stopped by the police, had to get out and were thrown to the ground. The police called the youths bastards and shouted at them, saying: "Lie down, bastards - which one of you bastards was the driver. Whose vehicle is this?" One policeman held a gun in his hand and kicked one of the youths in the back. Another youth was kicked and slapped.

When the police noticed that they were being watched, they threatened those around them and tried to drive them away.

Such and similar assaults have become more frequent, especially since the Coronavirus pandemic. For example, police officers fired warning shots in the direction of an eight-year-old boy who was playing on the street in the district of Nusaybin in Mardin despite the curfew.
