Özellikle 15 Temmuz sonrası bu uygulama sıradanlaştırıldı. Kesinlikle hangi mahalleden birisine uygulanırsa uygulansın kesinlikle normalleştirilmemeli ve her kesimden güçlü bir toplumsal tepki gösterilmeli..

Unfortunately, throughout his campaign, @ekrem-imamoglu.bsky.social failed to acknowledge the plight of KHK victims.

KHK victims lost their jobs, dignity, and voice.And still, in every rally, @herkesicinchp.bsky.social @eczozgurozel.bsky.social chose not to see them

One of the hundreds of thousands of people purged by government decrees (KHK), @fatmaayparcasi.bsky.social , wrote on her ballot today:

Tens of thousands gather for the 4th night in Istanbul to protest the detention of Erdogan’s main rival Ekrem Imamoglu, calling the arrest political and against the rule of law. He is in court today, and a verdict is expected later. Tense night in Turkey

Istanbul Mayor @ekrem-imamoglu.bsky.social’s detention yesterday has sparked student movements across Turkey today.

Ekrem İmamoğlu has become the latest among nearly 2 million people investigated for terrorism since July 15, 2016. The rule of law in Turkey has completely collapsed since that date. #Turkey #Democracy #Ekremİmamoğlu @ekrem-imamoglu.bsky.social

Bildiğim kadarıyla 8 yıldır olağanüstü hal yaşanıyor ülkede. Rejimin kurulduğu 15 Temmuz’dan bu yana pek birşey değiştiğini düşünmüyorum ama muhalefetin ya da muhaliflerin bunu algılaması zaman almış olabilir.

Demokrat muhalif basın ve siyasetçiye bir KHK mektubu daha! - Diken 07/12/2024 - MURAT SEVİNÇ ‘Demokrat’ muhalif basın ve siyasetçilere yönelik ilk yazıyı martta kaleme aldım. Bir hafta sonra, sevgili hocam, Mülkiye’nin eski anayasa hukukçusu ve AYM’nin emekli üyeleri...

Ne yapmalı insan, hazzetmediğine yapılan haksızlığı, açık hukuka aykırılıkları vs. görmezden mi gelmeli? Ayıp değil mi? Mide bulandırıcı bulduklarımızla, KHK’lıları ‘sivil ölü’ olarak adlandırmaya yeltenen beş para etmez zavallılarla aynı tavrı takınacaksak...
