Dilek Türker Dündar announced on social media that she came together with her husband Can Dündar and their son.
"For three whole years, although there is not an investigation on me, my passport has been confiscated unlawfully and I was prevented from traveling abroad. I tried all the legal ways, I could not get a result. The Constitutional Court has not handled my case for two years.
"They didn't abide by the Constitution; I paid the price of having trust in laws with staying afar from my family. At last, used my motherhood right and came together with my family. I hope that Turkey comes together with the law and family members who fell apart will come together."
Tam üç yıldır, hakkımda hiçbir soruşturma olmadığı halde, hukuksuz olarak pasaportum elimden alındı, yurtdışına çıkışım engellendi. Tüm yasal yolları denedim, sonuç alamadım. Anayasa Mahkemesi, iki yıldır dosyamı ele almadı. + pic.twitter.com/LMneNlwwnX
