Thousands of protesters begin their march in #Strasbourg, chanting “Justice delayed is justice denied!” as they call on @coe to enforce @ECHR_CEDH rulings Turkey continues to defy. The demonstration is organized by @4PeacefulAction in front of CoE headquarters.👇🧵

[Human Rights Solidarity @SolidarityHR]

For the 4th time this year, we are once again in front of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on Wednesday, June 25th, to renew our call for justice for the millions under oppression in Turkey. At this gathering, which grows each year with the voices of more participants, we will once again say “Justice for All” — this time louder and with greater determination. While fundamental rights are systematically violated in Turkey, we are gathering in Strasbourg to reiterate our demand that the Council of Europe take more concrete and effective actions.

We are back in Strasbourg because the non implementation of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) rulings demonstrates that respect for the rule of law the very guarantee of fundamental rights no longer exists, and that the principle of the rule of law is merely a formality on paper. The rulings confirming the rights violations against Osman Kavala and Selahattin Demirtaş, who have been deprived of their freedoms for years, as well as the Yalçınkaya judgment, which verifies the unlawful convictions of over one hundred thousand people, are being ignored by the Turkish judiciary.

We are witnessing more clearly every day that the judiciary in Turkey is not independent and that political pressure takes precedence over justice. We cannot remain silent in the face of this blatant disregard for the law. If we truly want ‘Justice for All,’ the first step must be to ensure the implementation of ECtHR decisions.

759 Babies and Children Behind Bars in Turkey

Right now, 759 babies and children are growing up in Turkish prisons, many alongside their mothers who are incarcerated under politically motivated charges. These children — some newborns — are being denied a normal childhood, access to proper healthcare, education, and freedom.

No child belongs behind bars. This is a direct result of mass arrests, abuse of anti-terror laws, and the criminalization of dissent in Turkey.
