After the reversal of conviction of Prof. Dr. Güler Okman Fişek due to signing the 'Peace Petition' of the Academics for Peace Initiative, the re-trial process began.
The academic had been sentenced to 1 year and three months of imprisonment in the third hearing of the lawsuit against her on October 2, 2018 at Istanbul 28th Assize Court due to "making illegal organization propaganda;" whereas the sentence was reversed after her statement was not received on the deferral of the verdict. In the retrial, the academic was sentenced to 1 year, 10 months and 15 days of imprisonment this time. The announcement of the verdict was deferred.
