Kaos GL Association carried the indefinite LGBTI+ event ban issued in November 2017 within Ankara to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Applications previously made at Ankara 4th Administrative Court and the Constitutional Court on the ban have been denied.
In the application made by Executive Board Chairwoman Yasemin Öz as well as lawyers Hayriye Kara and Kerem Dikmen on behalf of the organization, the ban issue was indicated to be violating the European Convention on Human Rights despite the governorate claim on “social sensitivities,” “public security” and “the protection of general health and morality.” “If the European Court of Human Rights issues an injunction, it will allow the prevention of right violations, however late,” Dikmen said on the application.
