On February 19, 2026, in Izmir, a lawyer who wanted to record in the minutes that his client had been tortured during interrogation at a police station was detained on the orders of the duty prosecutor, who claimed that the lawyer had “slandered the police.” The prosecutor sent the lawyer to court in custody. The Izmir Bar Association stated that the detention decision was unlawful, saying that the prosecutor should investigate the torture allegation and demanding the lawyer’s immediate release.
