Release of Mothers in Kahramanmaraş School Attack Case Canceled by the Supreme Court

At the first hearing of the case at the Kahramanmaraş 3rd High Criminal Court, it was decided that the defendant Uğur Mersinli, the father of the deceased attacker, would continue to be detained, and his mother, the defendant Peyman Pınar Mersinli, would be released.

The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office objected to the mother's release, taking into account the current state of evidence.

Evaluating the objection as a higher court, Kahramanmaraş 4th High Criminal Court issued a new arrest warrant for Peyman Pınar Mersinli.
