Çilem Doğan, 28, flashed thumbs-up signs to the cameras as she was led into jail after allegedly killing 33-year-old Hasan Karabulut. She wore a shirt that read: “Dear past, thanks for all the lessons. Dear future, I am ready.”
The mother-of-one said that she had absolutely no regrets for what she had done. Police reports found he had abused her through the entire marriage, he held her prisoner and tried to force her to become a prostitute even when she was pregnant with his child, but no action was ever taken. She has now been charged with murder.
According to Doğan, Karabulut, when she awoke one morning with her husband telling her to pack her bags so he could take her to the city of Antalya to pimp her out as a prostitute she refused, and he attacked her.
She said:
“When I opposed, he beat me. He pushed me on the bed and the pistol under the pillow came into my mind. I grabbed it and shot him repeatedly. Then I took my daughter and left the home,”
The incident marked the end of a long pattern of abuse, Doğan claimed.
She wore a shirt that read: “Dear past, thanks for all the lessons. Dear future, I am ready.”
After she was arrested on July 9, Doğan told investigators she felt she did what she had to do.
“Will women always die? Let some men die too. I killed him for my honor,”
Doğan’s story soon spread around the web, and women in Turkey and beyond began tweeting in support of domestic violence survivors.
What do you think about this tragic story, is what happened to her fair, and what about her child?
