The State of Emergency Monitoring Committee was established within the Prime Ministry to evaluate objections against legal actions taken with Statutory Decrees during the State of Emergency and was later bound to the Presidency with the new Presidential system. The Committee launched their 2018 activity report. The committee was established in January 2017, started its work in May 2017 and waited until December 2017 to make decisions. With the launched report, officials statistics on the Statutory Decrees of the State of Emergency were revealed as well.
According to the report, 129,411 people were dismissed from their duty with emergency decrees; 2.8% of them (3733 people) were later assigned back their jobs with later issued emergency decrees. 4,127 of the 136,049 actions made with emergency decrees were “reversed.” Therefore, the error margin in actions taken with emergency decrees was accepted as 3 percent.
125,678 people are still “dismissed.” 285 (9.3%) of the total 3,046 institutions previously shut down were reopened. Of the institutions which were shut down, six of them are news agencies, 19 are TV channels, 22 are radio channels, 53 are newspapers, 20 are magazines and 29 are publishers or distributors.
The committee started its decision-making process on December 22, 2017 and concluded 40 percent of 125,600 applications (50,500 applications). Only 3,750 (7.4%) were accepted and the actions were reversed; 46,750 applications were denied. 75,100 objections are still awaiting an evaluation.
