Chers Membres de la SVR-ASM Vous avez sans doute suivi l’évolution des événements en Turquie après la tentative de putsch et vous avez appris qu’environ 3’500 juges et procureurs (grosso modo un tiers de l’ensemble des magistrats judiciaires de la Turquie) ont été inscrits sur des listes en tant qu'”adversaires de l’Etat”. Tous ces juges et procureurs ont été entre-temps renvoyés, et un grand nombre d’entre eux (nous n’avons actuellement de données précises) sont en détention préventive, certains depuis plusieurs mois, sans perspective de procès. L’accusation se limite à reprocher à ces personnes de figurer sur les listes précitées; en d’autres termes, ils sont soupçonnés d’avoir soutenu la tentative de…

Geschätztes Mitglied der SVR-ASM Sie haben sicher die Ereignisse in der Türkei nach dem niedergeschlagenen Putsch mitverfolgt und sind darüber orientiert, dass rund 3’500 Richterinnen und Richter sowie Staatsanwältinnen und Staatsanwälte (rund ein Drittel der gesamten Justizangehörigen der Türkei) auf Listen als “Gegner des Staates” aufgeführt werden. Alle diese Richter und Staatsanwälte wurden inzwischen aus dem Dienst entlassen, sehr viele von Ihnen (wir haben zur Zeit keinen genauen Überblick) sitzen – teilweise seit Monaten – in Untersuchungshaft, Prozesse wurden noch kaum angehoben. Der Vorwurf gegen diese Personen beschränkt sich zumeist darauf, dass sie auf diesen Listen figurieren, was gleichbedeutend damit sein soll, dass sie den Putschversuch unterstützt hätten. Wir kennen…
