Kemal Sunal's viral line: 'Laws exist to protect honest men'

Dilan Polat, who entered prison in November 2023 alongside her husband Engin Polat on charges of "laundering proceeds of crime," was released yesterday following a decision for her to be tried without detention. Her husband, Engin Polat, remains in custody.

Dilan Polat's release yesterday brought about discussions on social media. Social media users reacted to the fact that Dilruba was arrested recently due to her remarks in a street interview, while Dilan Polat was released.

This situation brought to mind the line from the film "Deli Deli Küpeli," which starred Kemal Sunal: "Laws exist to protect honest men. If the law is going to protect the dishonest, then I am abolishing that law."

Here is that scene:

-There is law in this country.

+Laws exist to protect honest men. If the law is going to protect the dishonest, then I am abolishing that law.

-The court?

+I abolished that too.

-You cannot do that.

+I can. There is nothing I would not do to ease the suffering of the people. If necessary, I would even give my life.
