said that the death of Ceylan Önkol was used as a propaganda against the Turkish Armed Forces and that an organized psychological operation was being carried out. According to the investigation report issued by the İHD Diyarbakır Branch, Mazlumder Diyarbakır Branch, Diyarbakır Bar Association and Diyarbakır Medical Chamber, on 5 October 2009, the incident could was not being investigated properly due to the negligence of the Lice public prosecutor's office and the security forces. It was stated that the necessary sensitivity was not shown in relation to the disclosure of the incident according to the principles of national and international law. Investigations A decision regarding the confidentiality of information was later applied the case. The application for the abolition of the confidentiality in the investigation was rejected by the court on 14 October. However, due to the completion of the expert report, the Lice Public Prosecutor's Office lifted the confidentiality two days later. DTP member Selahattin Demirtaş filed a criminal complaint against the prosecutor Çolak on the allegations of "abuse of power and obscuring evidence of crime". Thereupon, the Ministry of Justice, launched an investigation to address the allegations about Çolak. An investigation was opened against the gendarmes in Lice on 25 October 2009 on the grounds that they did not take Lice Public Prosecutor Mustafa Kamil Çolak to the scene where the incident occurred. On 4 April 2013, this investigation resulted in non-prosecution on the grounds that 'there was no evidence that any crimes had occurred'. On 30 April 2014, the Lice Chief Public Prosecutor's office, conducting the investigation, concluded that the evidence and reports in the file were inadequate for the detection of the perpetrators and decided to issue a "permanent search order" for the case. In 2010, the lawyers of the Önkol family applied to the ECtHR, trying to reject the confidentiality decision taken during the investigation. In May 2012, the family re-applied to the ECtHR because the investigation was not conducted effectively and impartially, requests for deepening the investigation were rejected, and despite the long time span, no suspects were found. In 2017, following Önkol family's urge for conducting effective investigation in the judicial process related to Ceylan's death and insistence on the violation of Article 2 of the right to life by the Convention Court, ECtHR decided that in either of those cases Turkey had not violated any laws or regulations.
