Anonymous has launched #OpSerenaShim in memory of American reporter Serena Shim who was murdered near Turkey-Syria border on October 19, 2014 while covering the proxy war in Syria. Shim was killed in a car crash 2 days after announcing live on Iran’s Press TV that the Turkish intelligence services had been investigating her activities on the suspicion that she was a spy.
Shim and Press TV camerawoman Judy Irish, who barely survived, were returning to their hotel when a cement truck hit their car in a head-on collision. Reports indicate Irish was driving and the accident happened as they made a right turn, possibly at a higher than normal speed. The truck driver, who was arrested, claims the car was going too fast and crossed into his lane. There are rumors that the truck was accelerating at the time.
“The expert report and traffic collision report both cited that the driver was not at fault for the accident, while the Suruç Public Prosecutor Office is seeking a jail term for him on manslaughter charges”. The next court date for the driver will be in March and he could face 6 years on manslaughter charges.
