DİYARBAKIR - The lawyer, who documented the torture of Sevil Rojbin Çetin was called to testify by anti-terror police.

 
Kurdish activist Rojbin Çetin, a member of Democratic Local Authorities Board and Free Women's Movement (Tevgera Jinên Azad-TJA) was detained yesterday with a police operation to her home in Diyarbakır. Çetin was tortured for three and a half hours by a special police unit, who broke her door with a sledgehammer and attacked Çetin with police dogs. As the police set the dogs on Çetin, she was bitten by dogs, sexually insulted, stripped half-naked and photographed blindfolded. Çetin suffered severe injuries from her legs and many parts of the body as a result of the dog attack. A gun was held to her head by the police who also told her, "If you scream and don't talk, you know what we'll do. If the apartment was not on the second floor but on the fifth, you would have jumped anyway, then we wouldn't have to do anything". 
 
As Çetin was detained udner the scope of an investigation in Mardin, she was taken first to the Diyarbakır Courthouse and then transferred to Mardin by anti-terror police. While waiting at Diyarbakır Courthouse, her lawyer documented the torture of Çetin by the photographs that were taken by the consent of Çetin. In the photos taken by the lawyer, the injuries related to the torture with the dogs are clearly seen on Çetin's legs. As Diyarbakır Chief Public Prosecutor's Office initiates no legal process regarding the torture of Çetin, it was learned that the anti-terror police was given order to call the lawyer, who documented the torture to testify.
