Hundreds took to the streets of Mersin, Turkey – the hometown of brutally murdered student
Özgecan Aslan – to protest against her killing. Others joined in similar demonstrations in Ankara and Istanbul.
Hundreds of women attended Aslan’s funeral in her native town of Mersin on the country's southeastern coast. Many of them defied the imam conducting the funeral, after he called on them to stay in the back. Instead, they occupied the front. Women also carried the coffin before and after prayer.
