The Constitutional Court’s General Council denied the individual application of Kavala, who was acquitted in the Gezi Park case, released but re-arrested before being released due to charges related to the coup attempt and remains arrested at Silivri Prison for longer than 39 months despite a European Court of Human Rights decree against him. The high court decided, in the application made due to the “violation of personal rights and security” as the arrest was unlawful, that “there was no violation” with 8 votes against 7.
The former application previously made by Kavala due to “a violation of personal freedom and safety” related to the unlawfulness of the arrest measure, the restriction against the investigation file and for the arrest examinations being made without being presented to the judge or the court, was also previously denied by the Constitutional Court’s General Council on May 22, 2019.
