The trial of manager Ayşe Barım, who was arrested as part of the investigation into the Gezi Park events, has begun. An indictment was prepared against Barım on charges of "aiding and abetting an attempt to overthrow the government of the Republic of Turkey or to prevent it from performing its duties partially or completely by using force and violence."
The first hearing of the case, which is being heard at the Istanbul 26th High Criminal Court, was attended by the defendant Ayşe Barım and her lawyers. The indictment requests that Barım be sentenced to imprisonment ranging from 22 years and 6 months to 30 years for the aforementioned charges.
DENIED THE ALLEGATIONS According to journalist Dilek Yaman's report on social media, the detained defendant Ayşe Barım denied all the allegations against her during the hearing.
Barım stated, "I am not their boss. I am a manager. I call my actors every day. I am someone who does my job well. The meetings I conduct are necessary for carrying out my work. The actors went on their own; no one directed me. If I don't want an actor, I wouldn't go. Such expressions are not in the indictment. Unfortunately, the biggest evidence has not been used. 9 out of 12 actors have been invited to the prosecutor's office. They went to the prosecutor's office and gave statements. There is no place for these in the indictment, and I am afraid because of this. I did not direct anyone. I went because they were there. Just like the July 15 rally, just like during the February 6 earthquake. My honor and dignity, my love for the country have been trampled underfoot. I rebel against this." Witnesses like Enver Aysever shared messages after I was arrested. They wrote things independent of the Gezi events. They have also claimed to be witnesses regarding me. They said they had no knowledge of the situation. These are also not included in the indictment. I spoke with Alabora, prepared a statement, and said, 'Please do not publish this statement. I am a very cautious person. I said do not publish it so that no one is held responsible for a statement given collectively. What is wrong with that? I met with Osman Kavala. Yes, I met for the Fatih Akın film. A year after the Gezi Park events. I have been detained for 161 days. I have a very serious heart condition and a brain aneurysm that were identified before coming here. Six different conditions have been detected in my heart. While all this is happening, I am staying in prison under very bad conditions. While the criminal court judge released me upon appeal, I was re-arrested. This punishment is unjust and disproportionate. I want my right to life back. My right to life is my honor... I cried... I trust your conscience." Ayşe Barım experienced emotional moments during her defense in the courtroom. In her tearful statement, she showed the bruises on her arm and recounted her experiences. Barım stated that she was not allowed to undergo tests at the hospital, saying, "I am bruised all over. I did not want the pre-operative procedures to be done there. Please let me, I just want to live healthily."
