Employees at Shopping Mall Face Detention for Excluding Child with Down’s Syndrome from Game Room
Employees of a shopping mall in Ankara have been detained after allegedly refusing to allow a child with Down syndrome to access the game room. Sevcan Odabaşı Karakurt, the mother of the child, reported the incident to the police, leading to the detention of the employees involved.
The incident took place on April 1st when the employees reportedly denied entry to the child with Down syndrome. The mother of the child then reported the matter to the Ministry of Family and Social Services before taking further action by contacting the police.
As a result of the complaint, EG and 4 female employees of the shopping mall were detained by the police on instructions from the public prosecutor. The detained individuals will undergo safety procedures before being referred to court for further legal action.

It is essential for all businesses and organizations to provide equal access and treatment to individuals with disabilities, and any discriminatory behavior should not be tolerated. The authorities are taking the necessary steps to address this issue and ensure justice is served.
