Those exerting violence against women will be monitored by electronic cuffs

Kocaeli TV and ABA TV, 25 December 2010

ALTUĞ BERKER: ...You drew attention to a particular peril. Many times you advised to follow-up the people who use violence against people and animals for a certain period of time, because you told that such people would some time later commit a more severe crime. Indeed the court set a person free who frequently used violence against his wife because he told that he regretted it. The woman who was divorced from her husband but still feared from the threats of her former husband filed a criminal complaint against him and also asked for protection. However her demands were rejected since she was divorced. In a year the man murdered her, stabbing ten times in the middle of the street.

ADNAN OKTAR: What I said is very important. In such cases, that is if our sisters ever fall into the hands of such psychopaths,they must absolutely inform both the prosecutors and police as well as reasonable, Muslims, devout people.

..Notice that I told this previously. They should warn the people around them. They should inform our Muslim brothers. Our nation is very resolute; they are nationalists, Muslims. But nobody are informed about these women.

...This aside, this is something fine. An undercover policeman can follow her for a week or a month. Besides, in such cases the man is dissuaded through legal means. He can be taken to the police station and kept there for a few hours. The police can inquire about his actions against the woman and then he is set free. The police is authorized to do so. Then he is once again taken to the police station in 10 days. He is questioned about his actions. THIS IS A LEGAL PROCESS; NOT LETTING HIM EVEN TO BREATHE AND TO MAKE HIM FEEL THAT THE POLICE IS CONSTANTLY HARD ON HIS TRAIL. IN THE CASE OF SUCH PEOPLE, POLICE MUST CONTINUOUSLY MAKE HIS PRESENCE BE FELT. NEVER LAYING OFF AND EVEN MAKING HIM FEEL THAT HE HAS BEEN FOLLOWED.

...That is why insistent, unnerving follow-up is essential. He will know that he will never have the opportunity to act as he wills. ...

Some radical precautions are taken in order to put an end to violence against women. Fatma Sahin, The Minister of Family and Social Policies, stated that men who exert violence against their wives and thus debarred from home by Court verdict will be monitored by electronic cuffs. Sahin added that the system is called “Electronic technical monitoring system” and that whether by electronic cuffs or by another system, a technical monitoring system will be in use to implement the court decision.
