Scandalous images have emerged about the “Quran” course of the “Suffe Madrasah” of the “Ismailagha” sect in the Sincan district of Ankara, capital of Turkey.
About this Oku.Az Türkiye informs with reference to the media.
It emerged that 20 young children receiving religious education were subjected to violence, were repeatedly beaten by their instructors for months and the incident was covered up by the dormitory management.
The video of the instructor hitting the children in the class was captured by the security camera.
One of the students, a 17-year-old boy, spoke about what happened.
“He used to come to our room during morning prayer and wake us up by hitting us. When we told the management, we got the response: ‘He is your teacher, such things can happen,'” she said.
The student also noted that this issue has not been resolved.
Because his family supported the shelter management, he had to stay there for a year in difficult conditions. The young man pointed out that the donations received there were also appropriated by the teachers.
“They made money with religion,” he added.
According to the young man, who said that all the children who stayed in the dormitory were beaten 3 or 4 days a week, many children did not tell their families about the incident because they were afraid.
The 16-year-old, who stayed in the shelter for 2 years, said violence was shown against them for no reason.
“When we were eating in the cafeteria, he came and started beating us, saying, ‘Eat well, you dishonorable ones,'” he said of the teacher’s actions.
The young man also stated that torture is normal in the bedroom.
“They treated us like dogs,” he said, commenting on the violence he experienced.
