Additional Information regarding Decision of the Turkish Constitutional Court on dismissal of two of its members
11. August 2016 ALL

UNANIMOUS DECISION BY THE TURKISH CONSTITUTIONAL COURT:

Two members (Justice Alparslan Altan and Justice Erdal Tercan) of the Turkish Constitutional Court were dismissed due to their family affiliations within their social circle as well as the common perception of their colleagues over the years. There is no other evidence against them.

 

The court declares the state of emergence law does not require evidence based assessment so belief is sufficient to reach a final decision.

 

There is no particular evidence regarding the dismissed members. No event, no proof, no assessment, no evidence.

 

In the conclusion part, the rationale is limited to: ‘the law tells that the belief of the plenary of the court is enough. We believe unanimously that they have ties with the FETO’.
