Transgender sex workers 'throw man out of window amid pricing row'

Salim Uzun - ANTALYA

Two transgender sex workers have been accused of throwing a man out of a window in the southern Turkish province of Antalya.

The man, identified only as B.S., fell out of his apartment’s window early on July 2 in Antalya’s Kışlar neighborhood.

The man’s injuries were not life threatening after his fall from the second floor.

A neigborhood resident told daily Hürriyet that the incident happened after the man and the two sex workers “argued during their negotiation over the price.”

“We get used to such incidents,” the resident said.

According to neighborhood head Fahrettin Ceylan, incidents related to prostitution have increased in the area in recent years.

“We couldn’t solve this problem here. We are in fear. We have filed complaints to authorities,” he said.
