COURTHOUSE,
Aug 3 – Back on May 22, 2023,
at 3:15 a.m., Recep Akbiyik
used a blue metal bar to
shatter approximately 10
windows of the Turkish
Consulate’s by the UN,
according to DOJ.
Two
security officers who had been
in the Turkish Consulate’s
lobby stepped outside of the
building. Akbiyik
sprinted toward the security
officers with the blue metal
bar raised as if to strike
them.
On August
2 in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York, which Inner City
Press closely covers, Akbiyik
pled guilty and was
immediately sentenced to four
months in prison by Judge
Katherine Polk Failla.
Tellingly his
conditions included "you just
participate in an outpatient
mental health treatment
program... You must continue
to take any prescription
medications unless otherwise
instructed by the health care
provider.
The case is
US v. Akbiyik, 24-cr-462
(Failla)
