Abdullah Uçmak, the man who shot İbrahim Tatlıses, seen at a funeral
Abdullah Uçmak, the perpetrator of the armed attack carried out against famous Turkish singer İbrahim Tatlıses in 2011, was seen in recent days attending the funeral of a relative. Uçmak was temporarily released from prison with official permission in order to participate in the ceremony, which took place under strict security measures.
According to reports, Uçmak, who is still serving his prison sentence, was granted a limited and supervised leave specifically for the funeral. Security forces reportedly took extensive precautions from the outset to prevent any possible incident during the event.
Attended the funeral with prison leave
It was learned that Abdullah Uçmak received permission from prison due to the death of a close relative, allowing him to attend the funeral. The leave was granted in accordance with legal regulations and was limited in duration.
Extensive security measures in place
During the funeral ceremony, security forces and gendarmerie units were deployed extensively in the area, with security precautions significantly increased. Images from the scene showed Uçmak with handcuffs, surrounded by gendarmerie officers throughout the ceremony.
Footage of the funeral, distributed by Pointer, quickly became a topic of discussion on social media. The images showed Uçmak encircled by security personnel while several people at the funeral were seen embracing him, scenes that sparked widespread reactions online.
Controversial statement on social media
Last month, a post shared on Abdullah Uçmak’s social media account drew significant attention. The statement read:
“No one in this country spends 16 years in prison without injuring anyone. We are demanding our release.”
This statement once again brought the attack on İbrahim Tatlıses and the related judicial process back into the spotlight, reigniting public debate across media outlets and social platforms.
