Issuing 3000 TLs of compensation, the court further issued retrial for the consequences of the violation to be compensated.
The Supreme Court further issued a violation of the right to organize a meeting and demonstration in the application of Özge Özgürengin, whose complaint on the police violence she was exposed to during the protests in İzmir was concluded with non-prosecution, as well as a violation of the ban on treatment that is not in accordance with human dignity. The court issued 20 thousand TL of moral compensation to be paid to the applicant.
