Levenslang dreigt voor criticus Erdogan vanwege retweet

quote:

Columnist Gültekin Avcı, a former public prosecutor who now defends a jailed journalist as a lawyer, was summoned to testify to a prosecutor on charges of establishing a terrorist organization and attempting to overthrow the government for retweeting a post that featured the audio recording of then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan asking his son Bilal to “zero” $1 billion in cash that was in their house.

Bugün daily columnist Avcı announced on his Twitter account on Friday that he was summoned to testify by an İzmir prosecutor as part of an investigation carried out by the Anti-constitutional Crimes Investigation Bureau at the Chief Prosecutor's Office in Ankara.

Avcı said he, along with other journalists Emre Uslu, Önder Aytaç, Mehmet Baransu and İsmail Saymaz, is accused of establishing a terrorist organization and attempting to overthrow the government.
“The action which is shown as the basis for attempting to overthrow the government is retweeting a voice recording leaked by Twitter account Başçalan [Prime Thief],” Avcı said.

Stating that the prosecutors claim that the suspects, who have large numbers of followers, attempted to overthrow the government by retweeting the voice recording between Erdoğan and his son, Avcı said the person who filed the criminal complaint was Erdoğan himself.
According to Avcı, prosecutors seek aggravated life imprisonment for the suspects over the allaged crime.

“I told the prosecutor during the testimony that if governments would fall with tweets and retweets, I would not leave Twitter for a second,” Avcı defiantly tweeted. He said the prosecutor “surprisingly” did not seek his arrest but released him pending trial.

The voice recording Avcı retweeted, allegedly belonging to Erdoğan and his son, was leaked on the Internet on the evening of Feb. 24, 2014. In the recorded phone conversations Erdoğan is heard instructing his son Bilal to dispose of vast amounts of cash on Dec. 17, 2013 amid an ongoing corruption operation. The conversations came at a time when police had raided a number of locations as part of the operation that also implicated the sons of three former ministers as well as business executives and the chief of state-run Ziraat Bank. In the recording Erdoğan asked Bilal to “zero” the money in their house.

Avcı has been recently come to prominence for defending journalist Hidayet Karaca as his lawyer.

Samanyolu Broadcasting Group CEO Hidayet Karaca has been under arrest for more than four months since he was detained as part of a major media crackdown on Dec. 14, 2014, just three days before the first anniversary of the massive corruption investigations of Dec. 17 and 25.

The only “evidence” supporting Karaca's arrest is a fictional TV series that was aired on Samanyolu TV in 2009 that mentions an extremist organization named Tahşiyeciler. The organization, which is sympathetic to al-Qaeda, was later subject to a police operation in which its leaders received prison time. The prosecutor argues that it was Karaca who plotted against this terrorist organization by means of sending messages to the police chiefs through the TV series that aired on his TV station. The judge used an illegally acquired phone conversation of Karaca in 2013 to arrest him for events that transpired in 2009, although the illegal wiretap was excluded from the case after Karaca's lawyers objected.

“You can forget me if I am arrested unjustly one day. But don't forget Hidayet Karaca,” Avcı also tweeted on Friday.

ISIS heeft een ideaal, dat ideaal is een kalifaat. Ze strijden voor het Salafisme, wat net zoiets is als vechten voor een communistische staat, en dat in een vacuum waar andere partijen ook op azen. De bevolking hier is bang voor aanslagen in Europa maar er is tot nu toe weinig gebeurd op de acties van Al Qaida en wat daarop is geinspireerd na. Als je men over IS in Europa hoort dan refereert men altijd naar de aanslagen in Parijs, wat geen werk van IS was.
