Pınar Selek Case Continues on December 5

The case of Pınar Selek will resume on Friday, December 5 with the announcement of prosecutor opinion and declaration of charges.

Making an appeal to support the case,  We Still Witness Platform prepared a video that explained the 16 year long legal struggle. 

Having been tried for 16 years in the court case related to the explosion at the Mısır Bazaar and has been acquitted three times, Pınar Selek had been sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment at the hearing held on January 24, 2013 and she had appealed the sentence.

On October 3, Istanbul 15^th High Criminal Court ruled to follow Supreme Court of Appeals’ ruling on the overturning of her life sentence, removing Pınar Selek’s arrest warrant. The court also gave the prosecutor extra time for his opinion. 

The case will resume on Friday, December 5 with the announcement of prosecutor opinion and declaration of charges.
