19. chamber of ›ağir ceza mahkemesi‹
During a 90 minutes session the lawyers claimed the following applications:
- taking the files of ongoing procedures against judges and procurators who were involved in the kck-procedure before
- waiting for the decision of the constitutional court concerning the question of the constitutionality of continuing this procedure before a different court (‹law Nr. 6526‹) in the parallel procedure against journalists (3. chamber)
- reconsider again all the evidence (repeat the proof recording): testimony, proofs,..
The court accepted its obligation to wait for the constitutional decision and to take it into account for the final judgement.
The courts decided to accept the inclusion of the files of the procedures against judges and procurators. This is very important and could be read even as a positive step concerning the transparency of this trial. It should be remarked that the prosecutor was not ready to hold his final speech. This might be interpreted in a way that the court wanted to avoid a final decision today. We remain vigilant and mobilized. Istanbul, 2016-6-28 Conseil national des Barreaux (France)
