2- Did Hakan Tosun have any complaints or concerns about his life safety before he was killed? If so, what measures were taken in this regard?

3- Has the incident been treated as a simple criminal case? Or are other connections and instigators of the crime being investigated?

4- How can it be explained that although Hakan Tosun's family reported him missing to the police, his family was not notified for 27 hours when Tosun was hospitalized?

5- A press worker who was the voice of those defending nature, life, and justice, documenting the people's resistance and struggles for the environment and the right to life across the country, was beaten to death by two men while walking down the street. How do you explain this?

6- No citizen feels safe walking on the street. What is your Ministry, which is responsible for public safety, doing about this?
