Diyanet President Erbaş: If it's death, then death; if it's execution, then execution

Diyanet President Ali Erbaş, in his statement regarding the murder of Narin Güran, said, “Is there a deterrent in the laws? You can give a thousand-year sentence if you want. The person says, 'I'll serve my time, they provide my food and water anyway.'

It needs to be a deterrent; if it's death, then death; if it's execution, then execution,” he said.

In his speech there, touching upon the 8-year-old Narin Güran who was murdered in Diyarbakır, Erbaş said the following:

“Laws need to be a deterrent. They murdered our 8-year-old girl. What will happen if her killer is identified? No matter how many years they serve. Will our pain subside?

Will we have implemented a law that has a deterrent effect? You see what is being done to 2-year-old babies.

What murders are being committed. Is there a deterrent in the laws? You can give a thousand-year sentence if you want. The person says, 'I'll serve my time, they provide my food and water anyway.' It needs to be a deterrent; if it's death, then death; if it's execution, then execution. The third is the otherworldly sanction. Consciousness of the afterlife.”
