Yeliz Ada, a trans woman living in Adana, lost her life after falling from the roof of her house (11th floor) on January 23. Her body was received by her family and friends and buried in Adana after the autopsy.
Yeliz's friends, who stated that her death was not a suicide, claimed that Yeliz had previously received threats and that she was killed because she stood up to these threats. It was alleged that gangs operating against trans people in Adana were behind Yeliz's death. It was also alleged that the gang made illegal profits by collecting money from trans women through blackmail and threats.
The autopsy report is awaited in the case, which is being followed by the Mersin 7 Colors Association and the Adana Bar Association LGBTI+ Commission.
