Gülbahar Ünlü is one of the victims of false information leaked by Turkish police to the press.
Following the suicide attack which left two people dead at the US Embassy in Ankara, the attacker was named as 30-year-old Ecevit Şanlı. The left group DHKP/C (Revolutionary People's Liberation Party/Front) claimed responsibility for the attack one day later. However, the false news published by Turkish media on the attack also named Gülbahar Ünlü who was claimed to be one of the 14 suicide bombers of the DHKP-C organization wanted by police, despite the fact that she had moved to Germany following her release from a Turkish prison years ago, and lost the ability to speak and suffered from memory loss because of a cerebral hemorrhage she suffered in November 2011.
In a news published on the daily Zaman last December, Ünlü had been mentioned as one of the suicide bombers of the organization.
Ünlü's family protested against the false news saying their daughter was made a target for possible attacks, while she is still receiving medical treatment in Germany.
The Turkish police had released some names and photographs to the press in the past as well, claiming that they were suicide bombers sought by police. However, it later came out that none of these people had any ties with the mentioned organizations or any suicide attack.
Following the suicide attack in Sultangazi in Istanbul, last October, the police had released photographs of nine people it accused of being suicide bombers. One day later, two of the alleged suicide bombers held a press conference at Contemporary Lawyers Association, denying the allegations and accusing the police of wanting to frame them.
