One of the police officers who were martyred in the Gölbaşı Special Operations Department bombed by FETÖ members, was 31-year-old Demet Sezen. Sezen went to do her job even though she was not called. She left her 3-year-old son with her colleague and husband Hakan Sezen. Demet, who was martyred by the second bomb that went off in the Department, was closely taking care of the martyrs’ families.
Sezen was on duty the night of the coup attempt. She left her job at 10:30 p.m. and came home with her husband and son. When the family arrived they learned about the coup attempt taking place by a group of traitors. Demet prepared quickly and left her house after saying to her husband, “You stay with the child, I’ll be in touch if anything happens.” 
“She wanted to be a martyr”
Demet Sezen, who went to the Special Operations, had called her husband five minutes before she was martyred and told him that they were going to the General Staff headquarters. Hakan Sezen, who learned that his wife died a martyr’s death by the second bomb, said “She was doing what she loved. It was meant to be. She said the same things to her colleagues all the time.”
She used to meet martyrs’ families
Demet Sezen, who works for the Special Operations Department, Human Resources Branch, Social Services Bureau, was tasked with giving the martyrs’ families the devastating news. Sezen, who was severely effected by the news of martyrdom, did not only give the news to the martyrs’ mothers or spouses, she also liked to visit the martyrs’ children and give them presents.
The name of Martyr Demet Sezen, mother of one and martyred at
31, was given to the Anatolian imam hatip high school in Yenimahalle, Ankara.
