Execution of Erdal Eren
Erdal Eren was left-wing militant executed by hanging in the aftermath of the Military coup in September 1980 in Turkey. Erdal Eren was born on the 25 September 1961 or March 1962 in Şebinkarahisar, Giresun. His death sparked outrage in the Turkish society, as he was 17 years old at the time of his execution according to his lawyer. However, his father wrote in his letter to Kenan Evren that during the event Zekeriya Önge was killed, Eren was 18 years and 4 months old. Though, the issue of his age was not important to the trial itself. It was later brought up in an appeal statement after the death penalty sentence had already been decided by the court. Eren was a student at a vocational high school in Ankara and a member of the Patriotic Revolutionary Youth Association. He was also a member of the Hoxhaist Revolutionary Communist Party of Turkey.He was arrested on the 2 February 1980 during a protest against the murder of Sinan Suner, who had been killed by a member of the security detail of from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). During the protest, Eren fled a confrontation with the police, but was later caught. The officer who caught him, , was shot a few moments later and Eren was prosecuted and sentenced to death for the murder on the 19 March. During trial Eren denied having killed Önge and witnesses testified that the police officer was shot from behind and from some distance by a third party. However, in an interview with Savaş Ay shortly before he was executed Eren claimed to have shot Önge and assumed Önge was killed by his as well as another soldier's shot. Eren was hanged on the 13 December 1980 in Ulucanlar prison and buried in Karşıyaka cemetery. The coup leader, Kenan Evren, claimed that Eren was a terrorist and had murdered Önge by shooting him from behind. Provided by Wikipedia
