Statement by Osman Kavala

9 May 2024

Adhering to basic legal principles and respecting human rights necessitates the retrial of cases marked by blatant rights violations, convictions unsupported by evidence, and the wrongful incarceration of innocent individuals for years. Decisions handed down by both the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights underscore the right to pursue justice, not merely for the applicants directly involved, but for every citizen.

Justice is essential for everyone.

Each citizen's life and rights are equally valuable.
