House arrest for homeless man

- A Turkish judge sentenced 31-year-old Bariş Alkan to a house arrest for drug use and sale in Istanbul. Problem is, however, that Alkan is homeless. Therefore, he must remain in the vicinity of a vacant area at a bus station, as that is his official home address.

According to Doğan press office, Alkan was arrested on April 14 for drug use and sale. The prosecutor pleaded for cell punishment but the judge in Istanbul decided otherwise. As a precaution, he may not leave a certain area, so a house arrest occurred.

The bus station near Söğütlüçeşme is now the new area of ​​Alkan. His lawyer disagrees with the verdict. 'This situation has not happened before. He has no stay. How can this be done in peace? '

Alkan himself is now being monitored by the police. The area where he lives is known as a hangover for drug users. 'Agents stop me constantly. If I want to leave the street, she tells me it's a crime. '

By going back to court, Alkan hopes to get rid of the house arrest. It is not yet known when the lawsuit is served.
