Muhammed Emin Güleç, a reporter for the Konya Hakimiyet newspaper, warned the police officers doing ID checks on the grounds that they were not wearing face masks and were not observing their social distance amid the coronavirus outbreak. Güleç was battered by the police officers that he warned and filmed with his mobile phone. Güleç received a medical report documenting the battery. With his phone damaged, he filed a criminal complaint against the police officers (June 28).
