A teacher in Ankara has been convicted to five months in prison for cutting a 12-year-old schoolgirl’s throat with a box cutter, Turkish media reported March 16 in the latest episode of violence against women in Turkey.
Onur Özbek, a 35-year-old science class teacher at Ülkü Ahmet Durusoy Secondary School in the Turkish capital, received a five-month sentence for “deliberately injuring a person.” The school’s principal received the same sentence for “not reporting a crime committed by a public servant,” daily Habertürk added.
The lightly injured school girl reportedly told the court that she had no previous disagreement with the teacher. “He was not even teaching us. He just came by as I was sitting at the canteen with my friends and touched my throat with the box cutter, saying he ‘slits throats, not wrists,’” she said.
In his defense, the teacher said he accidentally scarred the schoolgirl’s throat with his nails, not the box cutter, which he admitted to have on him after he had confiscated one during a frisk of students.
Özbek’s lawyer, on the other hand, maintained his client’s innocence by stressing that he was appointed as the deputy principal of another school in Ankara after the incident.
The newspaper also reported that Özbek had received a suspended sentence for injuring a student at a previous school at which he taught in a southeastern Turkish province.
Özbek’s latest conviction has not been suspended, according to the report, which means that he will be sent to prison if the ruling is approved by a higher court following an appeal.
Any comment from NOW?
All cultures are equal! Celebrate Diversity! Down with the Republican War on Women!
Muslims and Democrats sure come up with some freakazoid teachers.
Allow any more koranimals into this country and it’ll soon be our 12-year-old daughters whose throats are being slit by them.
Just practicing for the next 9/11, nothing to see here, move along.
Moslem.
5 months... you mean “was released with time already served”.
Please re-post this tolerance article the next time a public figure touts Turkey as the model Islamic State. Meanwhile back at the US common core teachers union racket, they are bookmarking this excuse.

The Democrats gladly support all throat cutters,
and all rapists, and all murderers, and all
terrorists, and all slavers
and all from BOTH the DO”J” and the White Mosque.
“.........received a five-month sentence for “deliberately injuring a person.”........
Geeeesh, that’s attempted murder is it not?
Over here the teachers just have sex with them instead of trying to kill them. (At least so far)
Seems kind of harsh. Why not just suspend the teacher, with pay, first... then escalate if needed to without pay.
