The European Court of Human Rights convicted Turkey in the case of journalist Ahmet Şık, who is arrested in remand due to “making PKK/KCK and FETÖ/PDY propaganda” in addition to the Cumhuriyet Daily main case. Turkish judge Saadet Yüksel voted against the decree, which stated that Şık’s rights to freedom and security as well as his freedom of expression were violated.
Şık had been arrested on December 29, 2016 due to his social media posts, four news articles as well as his expressions during a panel. Şık’s interviews with KCK Spokesperson Cemil Bayık, as well as with DHKP-C members taking a Prosecutor hostage and killing him, were included in the case file.
