"18 lawyers, who are the members of the Progressive Lawyers Association (ÇHD)  were sentenced to a total of 159 years in prison as a result of a trial where the procedural security, as well as the defense right was violated.  The judges, who decided on the release order were forced to change decision and then they were removed from the case. This decision is still pending on the Supreme Court. As signatories of this text, we are concerned about the politicized judiciary in Turkey.
 
Underlining the responsibility to make them live, we call all the authorities to their duties, including the High Court and the Ministry of Justice to guarantee the fair trial right, which is the very essential substance and requirement of any democratic state, for all the citizens!
 
We call everyone to support this petition for the fair trial of lawyers of ÇHD.
