The name of the burned down dormitory is reported as the Aladağ Association of Assistance to Students at the Age of Secondary Education Girl’s Dormitory.

The association is reportedly linked to the Süleymancılar (Sulaymaites) cult, a Sunni-Hanafi jamia based in Turkey.

‘THIS DORM BELONGS TO SÜLEYMANCILAR’

“This is the dorm of Süleymancılar. They demolished their dorm, and placed our children here,” said a parent, who could not receive any news from their daughter at the scene, Aladağ, located in Adana, Turkey.

18 FEMALE STUDENTS PREVIOUSLY DIED AT THE SAME CULT’S QURAN INSTITUTE

18 female students were pronounced deceased in a Quran Institute which also belonged to Süleymancılar.

The Quran Course Institution in Konya exploded and collapsed on August 1, 2008, because of gas entrapment, leaving 18 dead and around 30 injured at the scene.

The Enlightenment Movement Against Reaction (Gericiliğe Karşı Aydınlanma Hareketi), released a statement regarding the incident. The statement said, “15 children were just killed in a fire in a dormitory which is said to be owned by the Süleymancılar cult. Cults must be abolished!”

“The republic abolished the religious lodges and monasteries 91 years ago. The existence of religious cults and communities, in which children are burned to death, is a crime,” they stated.

In the statement that was released via Twitter, the movement also said, “The ones who gave their children as presents to those cults will pay for it!”

THE COMMUNIST YOUTH: WE WILL DESTROY THIS ORDER

The Communist Youth also released a statement about the fire in the Süleymancılar-linked cult: “We will not keep silent when our brothers and sisters who were imprisoned in cult dorms are being murdered. We will make this order collapse on you!”
