Woman who exercised self-defense against husband granted asylum by Switzerland
In a groundbreaking decision, a woman who killed her husband who had been violent with her has been granted a residence permit by Switzerland.
Switzerland has granted political asylum to a woman from Turkey who killed her husband in an act of self-defense.

Yasemin Çakal in 2014 killed his husband Özkan Kaynaklı, who had been systematically violent with her. Put in prison after the killing, she was released in July 2017, after the court concluded that there was no reason for punishment "for a crime that she committed under fear and thrill."

Later, an upper court overturned the decision and gave a prison sentence to her.

Receiving threats after her release, Çakal applied to Switzerland for asylum. She has been living in a refugee camp in the country since then.
