Murder of Serpil Erfındık
Lecturer Serpil Erfındık was killed by her ex-husband in Buca, İzmir, on 15 December 2013, on the last day of a one-month protection order. The perpetrator received life imprisonment; a reduction for good conduct drew criticism. The family applied to the Constitutional Court, which ruled on 29 September 2021 that the state had violated the right to life. It was recorded as the first time the Constitutional Court held the state responsible in a femicide case.
