Bu basın duyurusunun özeti, İngilizce haliyle, aşağıdaki gibidir:
The authorities failed in their obligation to protect the life of a woman who had been genuinely and seriously threatened by her husband
In today’s Chamber judgment1 in the case of Civek v. Turkey (application no. 55354/11) the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been:
a violation of Article 2 (right to life) of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The case concerned the murder of the applicants’ mother, Selma Civek, by their father. The Court found, in particular, that even though the Turkish authorities had been informed of the genuine and serious threat to Ms Civek’s life and despite her continued complaints of threats and
harassment, they had failed to take the measures reasonably available to them in order to prevent her being murdered by her husband.
