ANKARA - In the decision of the Constitutional Court, Tuğluk's attorneys said that AYM confessed that Aysel Tuğluk would not be able to sustain her life on her own, and that they would apply to the prosecutor's office again against the decision.

 

The attorneys of Kurdish politician Aysel Tuğluk, who was not released despite her dementia, made a written statement regarding the decision of the Constitutional Court (AYM).

 

Emphasizing that Tuğluk had been struggling with dementia for more than two years, the Constitutional Court decision said: "From the first reports of Seka State Hospital, where the disease was first diagnosed, to the present, we have made every new case, document, medical report and opinion to the Kocaeli Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to postpone the execution. The applications were either not answered for a long time or our requests were rejected on the grounds of ATK(institution of forensic medicine) reports."

 

THE REPORTS OF TUĞLUK

 

In the statement, it is noted that there are many documents showing Tuğluk that she could not survive on her own, such as numerous special care prescriptions, the scientific opinions of the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (TİHV) and Istanbul Medical Faculty, and the Decisions to Exclude the Prisoner from Evaluation, and the documents in the question were ignored by the ATK. It was noted that reports containing extremely serious contradictions with each other were prepared. In the statement, which mentioned that Tuğluk's requests for the postponement of the execution were constantly rejected, "When we consider that dementia is a chronic progressive disease, it cannot be covered up, since the report of the Kocaeli Medical Faculty forensic medicine board, which stated that 'she could not survive on her own in prison' 1.5 years ago, the disease has worsened is a reality”.

 

'AYM ADMITTED THE CONDITION OF TUĞLUK'

 

In the AYM decision, "In addition to continuing the treatment of the applicant within the scope of the injunction decision, ensuring that She is regularly examined in neurology and psychiatry clinics, and whether it is necessary to postpone the execution of her sentence at certain intervals and to evaluate whether she should be released, depending on the course and progress of her illness." In the statement about AYM decision, "While the Constitutional Court determined that Tuğluk was examined a total of 99 times in the decision, it again handed over the relevant process to the Kocaeli Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the ATK."

 

THE PROSECUTORS'OFFICE WILL BE APPLIED AGAIN

 

Announcing that they will once again apply to the Kocaeli Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, which is the addressee of the decision due to the Constitutional Court's decision, and that they will once again demand the postponement of the execution and the immediate release of Tuğluk, the attorneys said: "As a result, Tuğluk will be subjected to ATK examinations again in the coming days, and an assessment will be made once again as to whether she can survive on her own in prison."
