Published report of the European Commission of Human Rights on the Şemsi Önen case (A44/43/1/47) which concluded unanimously that there had been violations of Articles 2 and 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights and that there had been no violations of Articles 3, 8, and 14 of the Convention. The applicant's name has been spelled 'Şemse' rather than 'Şemsi' in the report.
On 16 March 1993, the applicant’s parents, Ibrahim and Mome, and her older brother Orhan were killed and the applicant injured in her foot, allegedly as a result of a planned action by members of the Balpınar village guards to kill the applicant’s brother Orhan. (2 copies)
