Another TDOR video from Ankara. They had a march, and video shows one Turkish woman talk about the actions of the police trying to incite violence at the march, as well as the ongoing case of her friend (who was previously attacked by 3 police officers) who she believes the police came to try to intimidate.

I wonder what the real murder statistics for trans people are in Turkey, if assault by police is so frequent and goes unpunished. I also wonder how many more honour killings there are against trans people in Turkey and other Muslim nations, like the one mentioned on this year's list. It's frightening that the murders we don't know about likely hugely outnumber the murders we do know about.
