In late July, a dispute over fruit selection at the Kulaksız neighbourhood market in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, escalated when vendor Selahattin Ş. threw an object at customer Nurcihan Y., causing a head injury that required stitches. Police detained the vendor, and a court ordered his arrest on charges of intentional injury. The Istanbul municipality subsequently sealed all of Selahattin Ş.’s market stalls as part of the investigation, and he was later sentenced to custody. The case highlights tensions between market sellers and shoppers and calls for improved dispute‑resolution measures in local markets.
