The Night of 21 May 2020 in the Words of Those Who Were Beaten

What happened in Adana on the night of 21 May 2020 was put on record eight days later, at a forum, in the words of the seven people who had lived through it themselves.

The Claim That They Staged a Prayer Provocation in Adana

On the night of 21 May 2020 in Adana, five or six people wanted to pray the tarawih in a park; when the police said it was forbidden, they left. The beating began not in the park, but on the road as they were moving away.

They learned from the police that prayer in the park was forbidden and they left; the decision of the governor's office was not shown at any stage. The only document handed over at the end of the night is a public health fine.
