Striking reminders from Metin Cihan regarding Müge Anlı and her team: 'They called from the ministry, don't you understand?'

Journalist Metin Cihan made striking statements regarding the attitude of Müge Anlı and her team toward the Rabia Naz Vatan and Burak Oğraş cases, which have resonated widely in Turkey's public agenda. The events recounted by Cihan have reignited debates over the program team's approach to these two different cases.

THEY PROMISED TO SHED LIGHT, THEN SUDDENLY LEFT THE DISTRICT

The suspicious death of 11-year-old Rabia Naz Vatan in 2018 caused a major stir in public opinion. According to Metin Cihan's posts, Müge Anlı's team conducted research for days in the Eynesil district of Giresun, where the incident occurred, and promised the family that they would shed light on the death. However, two days before the broadcast date, after a phone call received by the team leader, the team suddenly left the district. It was learned that in a later statement regarding this incident, Müge Anlı said, "As a matter of principle, we do not broadcast cases with the possibility of suicide." This statement sparked criticism from the public.

THEY REMOVED THE OĞRAŞ FAMILY FROM THE STUDIO

Regarding the disappearance of 20-year-old Burak Oğraş, his family participated in Müge Anlı's program. It is alleged that while the program team was counting down before the live broadcast, minutes before the show was set to begin, one of the program officials asked the family to leave the studio, stating, "We were called by the ministry." In a statement regarding this incident, Müge Anlı explained the reason for canceling the broadcast by saying, "We do not broadcast cases where the outcome is not predetermined."

However, this explanation did not satisfy the public and became a target of criticism.

Let me remind you of the two events again.

In his social media posts, Metin Cihan stated that these two events were confirmed by the program team, and he recalled the allegations of pressure from the state and institutions on families seeking justice.

FAMILIES' SEARCH FOR JUSTICE CONTINUES

The families of Rabia Naz and Burak Oğraş have been struggling for years to shed light on the processes surrounding their children's deaths and disappearances. In both cases, the public continues to call on authorities to ensure justice is served.
