Abstract The legislator criminalized the invitation to suicide by enacting the cybercrimes Act 1388. According to this Act, if the invitation to suicide is considered as a crime, it shall be exclusively committed via computer systems, communication systems and data carriers. The way of committing this crime is not important, not restricted and it does not matter whether suicide is committed in the way that caller prefers or not. The invitation to suicide is not bounded to consequence although the specific intent including special intent of invitation to suicide, is essential for committing the crime. If suicide pact includes invitation to suicide by computer and communication systems and data carriers, it will be considered as a crime. Invitation under the condition is also considered as an invitation to suicide and it should also be noted that disregarding the invitation by caller does not invalidate the crime.
