Mayor ‘threatened’ with beheaded cat
A beheaded cat has been sent to the mayorâs office in a southeastern town in Turkey to âthreatenâ the recently-elected politician.
The beheaded cat, which was sent to Åemdinli Mayor Sefer Yılmaz on July 19, was noticed by cleaners who arrived in the office in the morning, DoÄan News Agency reported Aug. 15.
âThe message is clear. We received this message and took precautions, although they arenât really adequate. We donât know who sent the catâs head,â Yılmaz said in his first statement about the incident on Aug. 14.
Yılmaz was elected mayor of the Åemdinli district in the province of Hakkari in the March 30 local elections from the ranks of the Kurdish problem-focused Peace and Democracy Party (BDP). He also owns a local bookstore, which was bombed in 2005.
