The Ezgi Apartment case was opened following a tragedy that occurred last year and caused widespread repercussions. In the incident, 35 people lost their lives and many others were injured as a result of the building's collapse.

In the case opened within the scope of the investigation, only one defendant was being tried while in custody. However, the court's decision to release this defendant at the last hearing sparked reactions among the victim families and the public.

It was learned that the Public Prosecutor applied to the higher court following the release decision and appealed the ruling. Arguing that the defendant's detention should continue, the prosecutor requested that the release decision be reviewed so that the public conscience is not damaged.

This development, retweeted by Bahadır Özgür, also found wide repercussions on social media. Many users made posts emphasizing that justice must be served and those responsible must be held accountable. The decision to be made by the higher court in the next stage of the case is awaited with curiosity.

While the Ezgi Apartment tragedy has brought debates on building inspection and responsibility back to the agenda in Turkey, the public is closely following how the judicial process will conclude.
