In the application of Eda Ayşegül Kılıç, who was exposed to police violence during the Gezi Park protests in Ankara, the Constitutional Court (AYM) decided that the torture ban and the right to meeting and demonstration were violated. 37,500 TL compensation will be paid to Kılıç. On the investigation, which was decided not to be prosecuted by Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office due to “the police officers having used their authority given to them by the law upon the command of their commanders”, the Constitutional Court stated that not investigating the police officers “would create a perception that they benefit from effective immunity.”
