Turkish Teacher Detained After Coup Was Tortured, Denied Medical Aid, Will Be Buried as a 'Traitor'
PJ Media ^ | 08-07-2016 | Michael van der Galien

Gökhan Acikkoglu was, until very recently, a teacher in Turkey. Nobody expected that he would die eight days after a small part of the Turkish army staged a (failed) coup. Yet, that's exactly what happened.

After the failed coup Gökhan was arrested by the authorities. Of course, he didn't have anything to do with the coup. After the all, the power grab was carried out by members of the military. Gökhan was sitting at home when it all happened and was just hoping he would be able to continue to teach his students the knowledge they need to succeed in life.

Sadly for Gökhan, the authorities had already added him to a list of supposed supporters of Fethullah Gülen, the Islamic scholar accused by President Erdogan of being the mastermind behind the coup. When the president started his purge, Gökhan was quickly arrested.

After a while, Gökhan fell sick due to diabetes and "harsh treatment," meaning abuse and even torture. He was brought to a hospital, but the doctors gave the go-ahead. He was brought back to detention.

On July 23, Gökhan -- a teacher who was minding his own business when he was arrested -- died. He was seriously ill and "badly wounded."

That's bad enough, but this story gets even worse.

After his death, and without any conviction, Gökhan was declared "a traitor." As a result, he was denied a funeral service. He will be buried in the so-called "Grave of the Traitors" (a mass grave created by the government for military soldiers part of the coup).

As his father says in the video below, the authorities aren't allowing Gökhan's family to bury him in a normal grave in Istanbul...

Well, it is not like there isn’t a long history of the left killing millions to achieve its “perfect” society. Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, Mao, Hitler are the big killers; Fidel Castro has only killed thousands (but Cuba is a small country). I’m sure there are plenty of other examples of leftist dictators killing those who get in their way.

“I have seen in the social media, Hillary supporters expressing glee over the coming pogrom - they are looking forward to when all the conservatives are rounded up and put into camps.”

In regards to Cuba, the number of people murdered by Castro and his henchmen is more than 100,000.

Pretty standard treatment after a failed coup.

I wonder how much of that thought would apply if the uniparty puts down the Trump rebellion and selects Hillary?

This was no coup. It was a Reichstag Fire.

It’s on YouTube.

Grathwol was an FBI agent who infiltrated the Weathermen.

I think about that myself from time to time. Those leftist-extremists are dangerous.
