(Turkey) Lawyers: Abused Turkish woman in hiding -- Nahide Opuz
-- "In 2002, Nahide Opuz's ex-husband, Huseyin Opuz, shot and killed her mother in the
southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir. Prior to that, he ran over the two women once with
a car, and in a separate assault, stabbed Nahide Opuz seven times with a knife."
-- "Police detained the assailant after both incidents and then released him after
fining him. Huseyin Opuz remains free after serving six years for the killing of his mother-in-law."
-- European Court of Human Rights: "A court spokesman said this was the first time the court
ruled a government had violated Article 14 of the European Convention of Human Rights,
which prohibits discrimination in connection with a domestic abuse case."
