A serious incident occurred today, January 13, at a busy court in Istanbul, Turkey, when a prosecutor attacked his former wife, who was serving as a judge during a court hearing.
The judge was injured and quickly taken to the hospital, where she received medical care. Early reports say she is in stable condition. Police arrived at the scene soon after the incident and have begun a full investigation. The courthouse was temporarily surrounded by security officers as they worked to secure the area.
This event has raised major concerns about safety inside courtrooms, especially for judges and legal workers who are meant to be protected while doing their jobs.
A similar situation happened months ago in Albania, where a judge was attacked during a court case. That incident also led to injuries for others who were in the courtroom at the time.
These events highlight the need for stronger security and better protection in courts around the world. Courtrooms are meant to be places where justice is handled peacefully and fairly, and such incidents remind us how important it is to keep them safe for everyone.
