The ceremony which was intended to take place at the Gazi Neighbourhood Djemevi<\/em> before the body of \u0130brahim G\u00f6k\u00e7ek, Grup Yorum member who had abandoned his hunger strike on its 323rd day yet passed away the following day at the hospital, was sent off to his hometown Kayseri was obstructed by the police. Firing gas bombs and rubber bullets to participants of the ceremony, the police also placed some people in detention.<\/p>\n

According to the report of the Mezopotamya News Agency, the police surrounded Gazi Djemevi<\/em> as people intended to organise a march for G\u00f6k\u00e7ek. While anti-riot cannon vehicles were positioned at both entrances of the Djemevi<\/em>, the roads in the vicinity were blocked by the police. With its entrance and exit points closed off, no one barring a small group of people and members of the press who had arrived earlier in the morning were allowed into the djemevi.<\/em><\/p>\n

CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK FOR THE PARENTS<\/p>\n

Tensions mounted briefly when the police asked to check the criminal records of G\u00f6k\u00e7ek\u2019s parents upon their arrival at the Djemevi<\/em>. Upon reactions, G\u00f6k\u00e7ek\u2019s parents were able to enter the Djemevi<\/em> without having their criminal records checked.<\/p>\n

Seher Ad\u0131g\u00fczel, a Grup Yorum band member, told the BBC Turkish that more than 20 people were taken into custody, including five other band members and three lawyers from the Legal Bureau of the People, while \u0130brahim G\u00f6k\u00e7ek\u2019s body was transferred. 27 people who were taken into custody during the intervention at the funeral were released in the evening hours.<\/p>\n

BODY TAKEN OUT OF THE CITY<\/p>\n

Those who were affected by the gas fire took refuge in the Djemevi<\/em> and shut its doors. Among those trapped inside were also Mezopotamya News Agency reporters Erdo\u011fan Alayumat, \u0130dris Say\u0131lgan who were following up the news, and Serdal I\u015f\u0131k, ETHA editor.<\/p>\n

Not allowing the ceremony in the Gazi Neighbourhood Djemevi<\/em>, police officers took G\u00f6k\u00e7ek\u2019s body from the morgue and transferred it to the Mehmet\u00e7ik Foundation, located out of the city. It was announced that the body would be delivered to G\u00f6k\u00e7ek’s family from here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
