The Constitutional Court (AYM) decided for violation of freedom of expression in the applications of independent accountant and financial advisor Metin Yalçın as well as theater actor Tuncer Yığcı, who were sentenced due to their writings that criticised the institutions they worked for. The Court pointed out that criticism and expressing opinions is “indispensable for democratic participation.”
A warning penalty was sentenced against Balıkesir Independent Accountant Financial Advisors Chamber member Yalçın due to his article, entitled, “We Ask!” in the bulletin, “Fername” issued by a group named, “Democratic Accountants and Financial Advisors.” Yığçı, on the other hand, who worked at Ankara State Theater Directorate, was penalized due to a writing he only shared with the members of an e-mail group with members that are state theater workers only, with the title, “How did I obtain the three-year decisions of the Arts and Executive Council?”
