[Regnum] A court in Istanbul sentenced the perpetrator of the terrorist attack on Istiklal Avenue in November 2022, Ahlyam al-Bashir, to seven life sentences (1794 years in prison), TRT television channel reported on April 26. It is noted that during the court hearings, the Turkish Prosecutor General's Office asked the court to sentence her to up to 3 thousand years in prison. "Bah! I can do that time standing on my head!" As Regnum reported, the terrorist attack took place on November 13, 2022 in Istanbul. As a result of a remotely detonated bomb on Istiklal Street in the city center, six people were killed and more than 80 were injured. 46 suspects were detained without delay. According to the authorities, members of the Democratic Union (the military wing of the People's Protection Units, the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party) were involved in the crime. Istiklal is a 1.5 km long pedestrian street popular with tourists. On April 1, information appeared that in Istanbul law enforcement agencies detained two suspects in preparing a terrorist attack that was planned to be carried out by the Islamic State group (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation). The newspaper Hürriyet wrote that the detainees were a citizen of Tajikistan and a citizen of Kyrgyzstan. At the same time, the man was arrested and the woman was deported.
