Yaman's health status, who is currently undergoing treatment at the Istanbul University Çapa Medical Faculty Intensive Care Service, does not improve despite the passing 10 days. Yaman, whose left side is paralyzed, has fractures and bruises in many ribs. The Yaman family, who still cannot get over the trauma they experienced, started a legal struggle for the torturer police to be punished.
 
The family, who first applied to the Human Rights Association (İHD), filed a criminal complaint with the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.
 
CAMERAS WERE OFF THE RECORD!
 
Family lawyers asked the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to collect and examine the security cameras of Haseki Training and Research Hospital where torture occurred. Upon this request, the Chief Prosecutor's Office, who wrote to the Hospital Chief Physician, was given the answer "Cameras were not on record" on the day of the incident.
 
Although this response came from the hospital, new images of the day of the incident were reached. One of the images belongs to the security camera of a workplace in the vicinity. In these images, it is seen that dozens of police are in the area, running on the street, spraying pepper gas. The person who recorded the security camera footage with a different camera says: "How can a person do this to a human being? He is a 16 year old boy. Shame on you. Look, he's spraying pepper spray. They fired a gun, you see. You see, cowards, right? 30 people are attacking one man. God is great, brother." The words of the spectator summarizes the violence of the police.
