FOUR YEARS AND STILL WAITING FOR JUSTICE.
#ECTHR
A decade after the 2016 coup attempt, the legal fallout continues. The #European Court of #HumanRights (#ECtHR) has officially pressed #Turkey for answers regarding the prolonged pretrial detentions of 154 individuals, raising serious questions about human rights and due process.

📍On 5th May 2026, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (#ECtHR) delivered its landmark judgment in Yasak v. Türkiye.
The Court made clear that individuals cannot be convicted of terrorism solely because they worked for, or were associated with, institutions linked to the Gülen movement.
✅The judgment recognises that the movement was deeply embedded in Turkish society through schools, charities, businesses, hospitals, universities and other civil institutions. Association alone is not enough to establish criminal liability.
The Court reaffirmed a fundamental principle of criminal law: conviction for membership of a terrorist organisation requires proof of intent to contribute to violence or terrorist acts. In Mr Yasak’s case, no such intent was established. His conviction and sentence of 7 years and 6 months were therefore found to violate #Article7 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Following the Court’s earlier judgment in Yalçınkaya v. Türkiye, which still awaits full implementation, this ruling further underlines the urgent need for Türkiye to review thousands of convictions based on mere association rather than demonstrable criminal intent.
This judgment has far-reaching implications for the tens of thousands convicted in similar cases after 2016.

@DavidDavisMP The 'beauty' of the #ECHR is that it means whatever the activist judges of the #ECtHR want it to mean at any given time!
Sürmi İnce was killed by Sergeant Ali Dalgıran while taking food to her children who were mowing grass in #Yüksekova, #Bakur. Dalgıran was tried w/o detention. The Constitutional Court ruled there was no violation of the right to life. İnce's family will take the file to #ECtHR
Sürmi İnce, uzman çavuş tarafından öldürülmüştü
AYM 'yaşam hakkı ihlali yok' dedi
Yüksekova’da ot biçen çocuklarına yemek götürürken, uzman çavuş tarafından öldürülen Sürmi İnce’nin ölümüne ilişkin Anayasa Mahkemesi, “Sanık öldürme kastıyla hareket etmemiş ancak tedbirsizlik ve dikkatsizlik nedeniyle ölüme neden olmuştur” diyerek “yaşam hakkı ihlal edilmedi” kararı verdi.
Sanık uzman çavuş Ali Dalgıran tutuksuz yargılanırken, aile dosyayı AİHM’e taşıyacak.

10. Ultimately, this case deserves to end before the #ECtHR, which will be best place to decide the boundaries of the application of Article 10 ECHR in the context of the Olympic Games.
All #sportslaw eyes on #CAS!
First issue, the hearing should have been public, as this is a matter of great public interest & personal importance for @heraskevych.
If the athlete requested this publicity, the #CAS already violated the #MutuandPechstein judgement of the #ECtHR.
Боротьба за правду триває
The fight for truth continues
За кілька хвилин розпочнеться судове слухання у Спортивному арбітражному суді (CAS). Я впевнений, що не порушував правил МОК, тому вважаю свою дискваліфікацію абсолютно неправомірною.
Я бачу всю вашу підтримку - і вона безмежно надихає мене.
In a few minutes, the hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will begin. I am confident that I did not violate any IOC rules, so I consider my disqualification absolutely unjustified.
I see all your support and it inspires me a lot.

The European Court of Human Rights (#ECtHR) has ruled that #Türkiye violated the right to a fair trial of a university lecturer dismissed over alleged #ByLock use.
In September 2023, the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR ruled that the use of ByLock does not constitute a criminal offense.
Despite this landmark ruling, individuals continue to face dismissals, prosecutions, and imprisonment based on the same allegations.
This case once again highlights Türkiye’s systematic failure to implement binding ECtHR judgments and the ongoing politicization of the justice system.

It is a well-observed truism that despite early decades of human rights jurisprudence from the #ECtHR addressing ongoing #armedconflicts, the Court has studiously avoided opining on the interface of human rights and international humanitarian law (#IHL). https://t.co/iQNx6h7Hed
