A statement by People’s Law Office-International Office regarding the latest developments in the Death Fast resistance

THE AKP WANTS TO KILL THE LAWYERS AYTAÇ ÜNSAL AND EBRU TİMTİK IN FRONT OF WORLD’S EYES!

THE LIFE FUNCTIONS OF OUR COLLEGE EBRU TIMTIK ARE ABOUT TO FAIL. SECONDS, NOT DAYS, ARE IMPORTANT FOR HER LIFE!

LET’S NOT STAY SILENT TO THIS TYRANNY!

LET’S MAKE EBRU AND AYTAÇ LIVE!

Our colleagues Ebru Timtik and Aytaç Ünsal are in the day 200s of the death fast they started with a demand for a fair trial. Their health is getting worse day by day. Ebru’s condition is at a critical stage, and her life functions are about to stop. For Ebru, seconds matter, not days.

Due to the deteriorated health conditions of Ebru and Aytaç last month our colleagues applied to the court with a request for release.

Our colleagues were referred to the Forensic Medicine Institute by the Istanbul 37th High Criminal Court upon this application. As a result of the physical examination of our colleagues, the Forensic Medicine Institute prepared a report stating that “it is not possible to stay in prison due to their health condition”.

Instead of following this decision by the Forensic Medicine Institute, the Istanbul 37th High Criminal Court decided on July 30, 2020, to continue their detention and forcefully hospitalize our colleagues. Upon this decision, two of our colleagues were taken to two separate pandemic hospitals at a time where the SARS-CoV2 (Covid 19) epidemic is intense around the world. Our colleagues have been kept in a hospital room since July 30, in conditions that are more severe and risky in terms of physical and hygienic conditions than a prison cell.

AT THE THREAT OF FORCED INTERVENTION, EBRU TIMTIK CONTINUES TO RESIST FOR THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL WHILST PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE!

The doctors board at the hospital prepared a report stating that after they met with both Ebru Timtik ve Aytaç Ünsal that: our colleagues are not sick and that they do not consent to any treatment or intervention, so they do not need to stay in the hospital. Despite this, our colleagues are forcibly held in hospital!

THE HEALTH OF OUR COLLEAGE EBRU TIMTIK HAS WORSENED AT THE HOSPITAL! THE LIFE FUNCTIONS OF OUR COLLEAGUE IS ON THE BORDER OF FAILING!

The physical and hygienic conditions of the hospital, even worse than the prison, cause the health of our colleagues to deteriorate faster.

Our colleague Ebru Timtik;

– Has lost weight fast, dropped to 33 kilos.

– The whole musculoskeletal system has dysfunction and she cannot even get out of bed.

– Currently, she cannot drink water, cannot take the vitamin B1 she needs to take, cannot speak. There were wounds in her mouth, her throat and her tongue is swollen. Swelling has started in the abdomen.

THE SILENCE OF THE COURT OF CASSATION IS COLLABORATION IN THIS MURDER!

OUR COLLEAGUES USE THEIR RIGHTS TO RESIST, WHICH ARE THE MOST LEGITIVE RIGHTS AGAINST INJUSTICE!

Despite the report of the Forensic Medicine Institute and the Scientific Committee, the political power, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the 37th High Criminal Court which prevented the release of our colleagues with its unlawful decisions obeying commands and not the law, and the Supreme Court, which has been a partner in the massacre, and also the Court of Cassation, staying silent to all this, is responsible for this murder.

A FAIR TRIAL IS A RIGHT! THE DEMANDS OF THE RESISTANCE OF OUR COLLEAGUES MUST BE ACCEPTED IMMEDIATELY, OUR COLLEAGUES MUST BE RELEASED!

To all our colleagues who aim to provide justice, and who struggle for justice in accordance with their professional mission; It is our call to all lawyers, all legal organizations and human rights organizations:

Let us not leave our colleagues Ebru and Aytaç, who are on death fast for justice and who defend the right to a fair trial with their lives, which people have won through hundreds of years of struggle.

Through the external missions of the Republic of Turkey, lets send faxes, petitions, letters to the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Justice, the 16th Supreme Court, and the Criminal Chamber of the 37th High Criminal Court. Let us ask that Ebru and Aytaç’s demands for a fair trial be met and that they be released.

Let’s Not Let Them Kill Ebru And Aytaç Who Are Resisting For The Right To A Fair Trial, Defending The Right To Resist With Their Lives!

Accept Their Requests, Let Ebru And Aytaç Live!
