The Košice I County Court sentenced Kuc to 25 years for various offenses connected to the attack, as well as to his planned attacks. Throughout the proceedings, Kuc demanded the death penalty (which is banned in Slovakia) and a martyr's death, which his attorney interpreted as signs of mental illness. After filing an appeal at the Košice Regional Court (second-instance court in criminal proceedings), the court initially canceled the lower court's ruling, but after the County Court reviewed new psychological assessment submitted by Kuc's attorney, he was again convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

This time the appeal failed and the Regional Court upheld the ruling. Kuc filed an appeal at the Constitutional Court of Slovakia but the court did not challenge the ruling. Having exhausted judicial options in Slovakia, Kuc submitted a petition to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The ECHR ruled in 2017 that Slovakia had violated Kuc's human rights by unreasonable and unfounded pre-trial detention. Kuc was awarded EUR17,500 in both damages(EUR6,500) and cost of proceedings(EUR9,000).

The 2011 Kurdish protests in Iraq were a series of demonstrations and riots against the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraqi Kurdistan. The autonomous region experienced protests that were concurrent with the 2011 Iraqi protests and the wider Arab Spring.

The movement was criticized by ruling and opposition parties for causing unnecessary unrest. Qubad Talabani said that there was no need for the government to disband because "unlike Tunisia and Egypt, there is an open political process with a viable opposition in Kurdistan." Despite this criticism, the Movement for Change continued to organise demonstrations.

The security guards responded by shooting into the crowd several times to disperse them during which two people died and 47 were wounded.

2011 Kurdish protests in Iraq, Regional connections
Kurdish protesters in Iraqi Kurdistan have expressed solidarity with brethren in Syria and Turkey, and the relative autonomy of the region has helped it to function as a sort of sanctuary for Kurdish leaders and refugees.

2011 Kütahya earthquake
The 2011 Kütahya earthquake struck near a populous region of western Turkey at 23:15 EEST (20:15 UTC) on 19 May with a moment magnitude of 5.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong). With an epicenter just to the east of Simav, it occurred at an estimated depth of 9.1 kilometers (5.7 mi), resulting in strong shaking in much of Kütahya.


2011 Kütahya earthquake
Many locals panicked and power was lost to most of Simav. A hospital in Simav reported an unknown number of injuries, and some buildings sustained damage. An elderly woman in İnegöl suffered a heart attack in the immediate aftermath of the tremor, and was later confirmed dead. In Simav, one person was killed after being struck by a concrete block. More than 450 weak aftershocks followed; the strongest registered at a magnitude of 4.6.


2011 Kütahya earthquake, Earthquake
The magnitude 5.8 (Mw) earthquake occurred inland on 19 May 2011 at 20:15 UTC at a depth of 9.1 km (5.7 mi), as a result of shallow intraplate faulting in an area of north–south tectonic extension about 80 km (50 mi) west-southwest of Kütahya city. High levels of seismic activity have been registered in the region; historically, it has been home to many destructive earthquakes. Preliminary analysis suggested the quake was triggered by a slip on an east–west trending normal fault. National seismologists identified the fault as the active Simav fault, which has previously generated earthquakes of similar intensities.


2011 Kütahya earthquake, Earthquake
Due to its magnitude, the quake was believed to have caused a surface rupture near the epicenter. Initial estimates from the United States Geological Survey placed the magnitude at 6.0 (Mw), though this — as well as its focal depth — was revised shortly after. Concurrently, the quake was assigned a preliminary magnitude of 5.9 (ML) by the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute.


2011 Kütahya earthquake, Earthquake, Intensity
Owing to the shallow depth, powerful shaking was reported in many areas around the epicenter. Maximum ground motion in Simav was estimated at VII (Very strong) on the Mercalli scale; Intensity VI (Strong) was also reported in the two proximate small districts of  Pazarlar and Şaphane. Most of Kütahya Province, as well as some parts of adjacent provinces, reported lighter shaking (MM IV–V), with weak tremors felt as far away as Istanbul several hundred kilometers from the epicenter.


2011 Kütahya earthquake, Earthquake, Related shocks
A light magnitude 3.8 ML foreshock struck Simav at 19:59 UTC, 23 minutes before the main shock. As of 20 May 2011, over 450 minor aftershocks were reported in the region. Cumulatively, a total of 8 measured magnitude 4.0 (ML) or greater; the strongest occurred near the epicenter at a magnitude of 4.6 (ML) about 10 minutes after the main shock. There were no immediate reports of additional damage following the tremors.


2011 Kütahya earthquake, Earthquake, Damage and casualties
The earthquake struck at midnight near a well-populated area; a good amount of structures around the epicenter were reported to be vulnerable to earthquake shaking. Residents in over 10 provinces exited their homes and rushed into vehicles, with some people reportedly jumping from windows and balconies in panic. Power supply was cut to most of Simav in order to prevent fires, and telephone lines in the area were down. Hundreds of structures in Samiv sustained damage, particularly ranging from deep cracks to roof collapse. Several small fires were sparked by damaged stoves in collapsed apartments, and the tremor toppled furniture in most residences.


2011 Kütahya earthquake, Earthquake, Damage and casualties
A total of 122 people were injured; at least one person was reported to be in critical condition, and others suffered heart attacks and anxiety attacks. A man was killed after being struck in the head by a concrete block, while officials said an elderly woman in İnegöl died from cardiac. Other sources reported a third unidentified jump victim, though the validity of this claim remains uncertain.
