   Aww c'mon, just a pajama party cat fight.

Two of the three university girls who summoned other girls with whom
they argued over the internet to their home and then beat them, have
been hit with jail sentences of 10 years each.  Hasibe H. and Mihriban
Y. were convicted of the beatings and of sharing the scenes on the internet.

Hasibe H, (25), an architecture student at Karadeniz Technical University
(KTÜ) in Trabzon, Mihriban Y. (19), studying metallurgy at KTÜ, and
KTÜ law student Nurçin Ç. (19) argued with Kübra T. and Esra K. over
the internet on 13 February 2017.  Kübra T.(25), who works at the airport,
and Esra K., an office worker at an insurance company, came to the
university students' home and were beaten by the students, who then
posted the beating scenes on social media.

Hasibe, Mihriban and Nurçin were tried for false imprisonment, insults
and threats, while Kübra and Esra were tried for insults and threats. 
Nurçin was acquitted but Hasibe and Mihriban were convicted of false
imprisonment and sentenced to 10 years in prison.  However, the court
filed a criminal case against Nurçin for filming Kübra and Esra without
their consent. Kübra and Esra were acquitted of the charge on insults
and threats.
