Prosecutor orders prepayment against emergency decree protesters

Diyarbakır Public Prosecutor’s Office started an investigation against the protest demonstration organized by municipality workers in Kayapınar district, who have been dismissed from service with emergency decrees. The investigation charged the protesters with violating the Law of State of Emergency; the Prosecutor sent a prepayment order to 25 protesters, who faced investigations. The order notified the protesters that in case the prepayment is not completed, a public lawsuit will be filed against them.

 

Former Diyarbakır Bar Association chairman Mehmet Emin Aktar stated that this application was frequently used in the 1990s. “Here’s what the Prosecutor means: ‘You have committed this crime, and the penalty for this crime is at least 30 days of imprisonment. If you would like to pay the fine that corresponds to this crime, then a public lawsuit is not filed against you. However, if you don’t pay it, a public lawsuit is filed,” Aktar said. Some lawyers interpret this Prosecutor order as speaking on behalf of the court and therefore intervening the ‘right to fair trial.’
