(Hürriyet Newspaper, 22 July 2022)















                 Not the relaxation she was hoping for. 

Ş.Ö. (20), who lives in Istanbul, went to Sakarya's Karasu district for a
vacation.  On the evening of 18 July, while she was walking home after
a stroll along the shore with some friends, a car driven by Talip Altındal
pulled up alongside her and Altındal verbally accosted her.  Frightened,
Ş.Ö. talked back to Altındal and took a picture of his car with her
cellphone camera.  When she said she would call the police, Altındal 
became enraged and tried to run over the young woman with his car.(!)

At this point, Ş.Ö. sought refuge in a nearby shop but Altındal followed
her into the shop and began to beat her viciously, screaming "you were
going to take my picture and file a complaint!".  He broke her cellphone,
as well.  Ş.Ö. found a chance to escape and fled to the street.  Meanwhile,
the shop's security camera had recorded the entire beating incident.

In the street Ş.Ö. was able to find refuge in a woman's car, as Altındal
emerged from the shop with a weapon in his hand, threatening everyone
in sight.  The woman in whose car Ş.Ö. found refuge took her to the 
police station to file a complaint about Altındal's verbal and physical
assault on her.  Altindal, the jobless father of 4 children (!), was 
tracked down and jailed.  As for Ş.Ö. and her spoiled vacation, she 
said "the 30 seconds you saw on the camera were like 30 years for
me."
