Mail from Turkey: JUDGE M. TOSUN DIED UNDER ERDOGAN’S PERSECUTION

(Sender known to blog editor)

Dear Sir

I would like to raise one of the human violations in Turkey. Yesterday theTurkish judiciary lost one of its members, Mehmet Tosun, a 29 years old judge, a new husband and an innocent individual. He was quite young professional eager to devote himself to justice. He got sick in 2014, treated 2 years in Universty hospital, and struggle with illness. Virus destroyed his immune system, which he lost 25 kg during treatment. However, he never gave up. After july 15, he was purged and detained. Then he was released after detention because of his health reason. But he was brutally treated during police detention, which caused a lot of trauma him, and worsen his health. He was dismissed by the High Council of Judges decision without any evidence, labelled as terrorist.

In additon, his social health insurance cancelled. His accounts were blocked and assets were seized. Although he needs expensive treatment with specialist doctor, he was not be able to get proper treatment after that.

After July 15, we have withenessed so many unlawful actions, and I thought what can be done beyond, and I have seen later. Pregnant women, 80 years old senior citizen and many others jailed. I have seen a mother, whose husband jailed, and she was detained during prison visits with her disabled kids. Former Chief Public Prosecutor of capital Ankara, İbrahim Ethem Kuriş, who is cancer, and still in jail.

Because Mehmet was dismissed, detained, taken under judicial control, his assets seized, his salary and health insurance were cancelled; I still strongly believe that HSYK and judiciary controlled by Erdogan Regime have responsible for an innocent civilian, judge Mehmet Tosun death.

Best regards,
