Honor killing in Istanbul

Turkey

While gay visibility is expanding in Istanbul, Ahmet Yildiz, a 26 years-old gay student was murded as he exited a bar. Openly gay he was under strong pressure from his family who condemned violently his lifestyle.

Suspicions of a crime of honour are all the more strong as his family was not present at the funerals. Crimes of honour are still numerous in Turkey where no law condemns homophobia.
