A lawsuit was filed against three police officers, who threatened journalist Beyza Kural with the words, “nothing is the same any more, we will teach you that” and attempted to detain her during the student protest organised in the anniversary of the establishment of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) in 2015. The lawsuit was filed 5.5 years after the incident at Istanbul 35th Criminal Court of First Instance, only after the violation decree issued by the Constitutional Court regarding the police violence exposed by the journalist. The police officers are charged with “violating the freedom of work through the use of public force” and their prosecution will start on June 23.
