Turkish Court Defies Top Legal Rulings: Man Imprisoned 25 Years
A man has spent 25 years in prison despite rulings from Turkey's Constitutional Court, the European Court of Human Rights, and the Court of Cassation ordering his release. "I have been imprisoned for 25 years," he said. "I am still being held unjustly and unlawfully. For 25 years, I have waged an exhausting legal battle." The case raises serious questions about Turkey's compliance with its own highest courts and international human rights rulings.
