During a narchotics operation carried out in Manisa's Kuşlubahçe neighborhood on July 12, 2018, Naci Dayangaç was killed on grounds that he allegedly was an HPG member. Adem Bozkurt who was currently at that address, was arrested on grounds that he also allegedly was a 'member of a terrorist organization'. Despite the passing two years, police keeps asking where Dayangaç is, pressuring his family constantly.

 

Dayangaç's brother Feyzullah Dayangaç (40) told that they hadn't heard from his brother for 5 years before his death, and said that they were informed his brother was killed in Manisa. Stating that their father and uncle went to Manisa to claim the body, Dayangaç told that they weren't allowed to see the scene. Dayangaç said that the body was claimed from the Forensic Medicine Institude and was buried in Bitlis. Dayangaç added that even though 2 years has passed since the death of his brother, the investigation continues with no development.

 

Stating that he thinks his brother was executed, Dayangaç said: "No weapons of any sorts was found at the house he was staying. He was shot from the head with a single bullet. I saw his body with my own eyes. There was a bullet whole at the side of his head. There were no bruises or anything in his body. The state officials told that there was a clash but the eyewitnesses say that no such thing had happened."

 

Demanding the investigation to be carried out effectively to shed a light on the death of his brother, Dayangaç said he want the state officials to tell him why he was executed. Noting that the police is constantly coming to their door asking where his brother is and threatening them, Dayangaç said: "First they killed my brother and now they are asking where he is. Our children are trumatized. They are carrying out raids on our homes sometimes once a month, even once a week. They come here and threaten us. They tell us if we don't disclose his location they're going to arrest us, kill us as well. They say 'We killed one of you, we can kill another too'. We want this pressure on our family to end and we want the investigation to be carried out effectively to shed a light on the death of my brother."
