1-INTENTIONAL INJURY

Intentional injury is defined as an act that causes pain to a person’s body, deterioration of health or perception ability.

In order for us to talk about intentional injury, three types of situations must occur. First, it was sought to cause pain to someone else’s body, secondly, to deteriorate his health, and thirdly, to impair his ability to perceive.

Intentional injury is a general crime. Anyone can be a perpetrator of this crime. The legal subject of the willful injury crime is bodily immunity-integrity. The person who commits the crime of intentional injury is punished with imprisonment from 1 year to 3 years.

 SIZE THAT CAN BE REMEDY WITH SIMPLE MEDICAL INTERVENTION:

If the act of intentional injury on the person is light enough to be remedied with a simple medical intervention, the victim’s COMPLAINT is sought and it is one of the situations that mitigates the punishment. Injury that can be remedied with simple medical intervention is superficial injuries that can be healed by non-health members. In cases where the effect of the act of intentional injury on the person is so slight that it can be eliminated with a simple medical intervention, a penalty of imprisonment from four months to one year or a judicial fine is imposed upon the complaint of the victim.

Complaint period is 6 months. If the victim does not make a complaint within 6 months, the right to complain disappears.

In other cases, the prosecution is made ex officio. The crime of injury that cannot be remedied by simple medical intervention is not subject to complaint. The Prosecutor’s Office may conduct an investigation ex officio within this period. The minimum statute of limitations for this crime is 8 years, and anyone who has the right to complain can intervene in the case.

QUALIFIED CONDITIONS:

Deliberate injury;

In case it is committed against a superior, subordinate, spouse or sibling
If it is committed against a person who is unable to defend himself in terms of body or spirit
Due to the public duty performed by the person

In case of weapon processing
In case of intentional injury with a gun; Since the weapon breaks resistance, creates fear and panic, and facilitates the act of wounding, the execution of the wounding with a weapon necessitated an increase in the penalty. All kinds of piercing, cutting tools, explosives, firearms made for use in an attack can be used as a weapon in deliberate injury. Kitchen utensils such as forks and spoons can also be accepted as weapons depending on the event. The perpetrator must use the weapon as a tool to commit the crime.
