Prof. Hasan Aydın, Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Myers, FL, USA
Executive Summary:
Executive Summary: Human Rights Watch and other human rights organizations have drawn attention to abusive persecutions, the erosion of the right to a fair trial and torture during detention in Turkey. The government has ignored or sidestepped the European Convention on Human Rights’ (ECHR) decisions pertaining to pre-trial detentions and fair trials by adding new grounds to indictments and continuing pre- trial detentions.
