Judicial reform, which Feyzioğlu has worn out his hands applauding, is bearing fruit. Lawyers Ayşegül Çağatay, Nadide Özdemir, Görkem Ağdede and Ebru Timtik, brother of our lawyer Özhan Aslan, our office secretary Gülser Sarıgül and our client Kamile Kayır were taken into custody.
Scatter as many as you want, threaten us with arrests, but we will not give in. We will not give up our struggle for justice, we will not give up the freedom of our friends, the right to health and freedom to Barkın.
They could not intimidate us with arrests, prosecution or punishments; and now they are attacking our work and living space. This raid increases our anger, we gather power again, we fight harder. Nothing else happens.
There was no information on where the detainees were taken.”
