The Constitutional Court has decided that Deniz Yücel’s (the daily Die Welt’s former Turkey reporter) ‘personal freedom and security’ and ‘freedom of expression’ have been violated due to his arbitrary arrest.
The Court has ruled that Yücel shall be paid 25 thousand Turkish Lira for non-pecuniary damages. While the court unanimously rejected the allegations of torture and ill-treatment, it unanimously accepted the complaints regarding the ‘personal freedom and security’ and ‘freedom of expression’ (28 June)
