Journalist Yaman Kaya was attacked in Bursa in recent days. The 2 attackers who ambushed Kaya were released with a house arrest decision. Kaya announced the decision on his social media account.

Yaman Kaya, Editor-in-Chief of the Bursa-based news website Başka Gazete, was subjected to an armed attack while walking to his car after work. Kaya fortunately escaped the attack without injury. New developments have occurred in the investigation into the incident.

In a statement on his social media account, Yaman Kaya stated that the 2 suspects identified as having carried out the attack were caught and referred to court with a request for arrest, but were released by the court on the condition of house arrest.

Kaya wrote the following:

"Shortly after leaving my workplace on FSM Boulevard on Monday evening, I was subjected to an armed attack while driving my vehicle. The bullet fired by the attacker, who set an ambush and targeted me directly, entered through the left front door window of the car I was using and exited through the right front window. According to the police at the scene, I escaped being hit by the bullet by 5 centimeters and survived by a miracle.

The two suspects identified as having carried out the incident were caught by the police. The prosecutor's office referred the two suspects, who have criminal records and have previously been in and out of prison, to the court with a request for 'arrest'. In the investigation opened for the crime of attempted intentional homicide, the duty court released the two suspects, who denied carrying out the act, on the condition of house arrest, despite the statements of eyewitnesses, camera footage, and phone signals! As I said on the day I was attacked, I will not be intimidated!"
