This morning at 08:10, in my prison cell, I was notified of the court’s arbitrary decision: I am barred from attending my own trial.
The indictment bears my name. The case was built around me. Yet the court blocks me and restricts the defense of those facing the gravest charges, and their lawyers.
This is not a trial. It is a severe violation of the most basic right of defense, the pinnacle of what jurists call “enemy criminal law.”
A panel redesigned after the case was filed, in open defiance of the principle of the natural judge, can claim neither independence nor impartiality. As of today, it has abandoned even the appearance of judicial process. The “lawlessness of the century” has collapsed into a pile of extrajudicial execution.
And all this happens while Türkiye hosts the leaders of the democratic world in Ankara. The elected Mayor of Istanbul and the Presidential candidate of the democratic opposition is silenced in a courtroom he is not allowed to enter.
I am exposing this lawlessness.

Son 4 dakikada oyuna giren McElwain, attığı 20 sayıyla herkesi şaşkına çevirdi.
