Turkije Opnieuw grote groep advocaten opgepakt

Volgend op wijdverspreide protesten en politiegeweld in Turkije gedurende de laatste twee weken, zijn op 11 juni 45 advocaten gearresteerd in Istanbul. De advocaten namen deel aan een vreedzaam protest in het Cağlayan gerechtsgebouw, nabij het Taksim plein, dat gericht was tegen de onderdrukking van de ‘Occupy Gezi’ demonstranten. De advocaten riepen de autoriteiten op het recht op vrijheid van vereniging en vrijheid van meningsuiting te garanderen. Volgens berichten zijn ook veel van de gearresteerde advocaten mishandeld door de politie. Alle advocaten werden kort nu hun aanhouding vrijgelaten.

Volgende week gaat het  KCK-proces (Koma Civakên Kurdistan) verder in Silivri, in het kader waarvan 47 advocaten werden gearresteerd in November 2012. Namens L4L zal opnieuw een delegatie de zitting monitoren.
