Shocking moment a woman is attacked by a man on a Turkish bus 'because she was wearing mini shorts during Ramadan'

Asena Melisa Sağlam alleged the man said:'You dress like this during Ramadan?
After being slapped, the student, 21, ran up to the man but he threw her back
He allegedly told investigators he was 'provoked' before being released - causing outrage


A woman was slapped while she sat on a bus in Turkey after a man allegedly asked her if she was not 'ashamed' to wear shorts during Ramadan.
In shocking video footage, 21-year-old student Asena Melisa Sağlam can be seen sitting peacefully at the back of the bus in Istanbul before it begins to slow down for the next stop.
At this point a man, identified as Ercan Kızılateş, stands up, says something to the woman and then slaps her with the back of his hand.
She said: 'From the moment I sat down he was making these remarks: "You dress like this during Ramadan? You should feel ashamed to be dressed like that"


An arrest warrant was issued for Kızılateş today, according to Hurriyet Daily News, but he was previously questioned and released.
After the man slapped Sağlam, she can been seen in the video to chase after him while he tries to leave the bus.
He then grabs her by the neck and throws her back into the vehicle before storming onto the street.
The victim moves to the door and appears to shout at the man before collapsing onto the floor of the bus and putting her head in her hands while another passenger tries to comfort her.


After the incident, Sağlam filed a legal complaint against Kızılateş. He was detained on Saturday but released after giving testimony.
He allegedly said he was 'provoked', adding: 'Women dressing this way affects one's sensuality'.
But on Monday Sağlam condemned the release of the suspect, stressing that her 'only wish' was for 'dissuasive punishment' to be given to her attacker.
She added: 'I do not want him to walk around freely because I cannot anymore.
'I could until now, but since being assaulted I have been unable to go anywhere without my mother. I cannot even get on public transportation.'
But women's rights organisation We Will Stop Femicide Platform wrote on Twitter that women will not be deterred in the country.
It said: 'We will wear whatever we want outside. We will not give up our freedoms.'
Sağlam said that she was being verbally abused by the man throughout the entire journey.

Becos U are fasting means every other Pesin must fast along with U, na by force?? Was he d only Pesin in d bus?? If he wasn't an ashawo man why would he b staring at a gal on shorts??

She wears a short skirt during Ramadan...

He physically attack a stranger on a bus during Ramadan...

Unless he thinks that Allah is the lord of flawed judgement, which of them does he feel has committed the worst offense?

Hypocrite

Islam is the problem this world has. Remove Islam and there will be peace.i Av never seen such a people full of violence,hypocrisy,unforgiving,full of terror etc.

that guy should be kill as soon as possible

muslims will avoid this thread....but what do i know....if i talk they will say i hate islam...

What is his justification his action in such a manner to an innocent female passenger, yet our moslem friends will say 'islam is a religion of peace'

RELIGION HAS SO FAR BEEN MAN'S WORST NIGHTMARE BY A MILE ITS PANDEMIC, RELIGION IN RECENT TIME HAS DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD. THAT SAID, INDECENT DRESSING SHOULDN'T BE ENCOURAGED AND THAT ASSAULTER SHOULDN'T JUST BE GIVEN A SLAP IN THE WRIST KINDA PUNISHMENT.

Killed? that's too much for a punitive measure for such a crime. wetin go come be the penalty for murder?

Muslims always fighting for Allah since 600AD.
