A new development has occurred regarding manager Ayşe Barım, who is being tried on the grounds of being one of the planners of the Gezi Park events.
REPORT FROM THE FORENSIC MEDICINE INSTITUTION: STAYING IN PRISON CONDITIONS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR HER HEALTH The arrest warrant issued for Ayşe Barım has been lifted. The Istanbul 27th Heavy Penal Court stated in its decision that the report prepared by the Forensic Medicine Institution (ATK) on October 22 was sent to the court for evaluation. The decision noted that the ATK's report indicated that Barım's treatment was continuing under hospital conditions, and according to the existing documents in the case, it was necessary for her treatment to continue under hospital conditions, and that staying in prison conditions was not suitable for her health.
THE ARREST WARRANT HAS BEEN LIFTED The report stated that after Barım was sent to the ATK for examination with some tests showing her condition a month later, a reevaluation could be made regarding certain issues. The decision noted that since the judicial control measures proposed to be applied by the main court at this stage were deemed sufficient and beneficial, the arrest warrant for the defendant was lifted.
WHAT HAD HAPPENED? Ayşe Barım was arrested on January 27 on the grounds that she directed the artists she managed to the Gezi Park protests. An indictment was accepted by the court, requesting a prison sentence of 22 years and 6 months to 30 years for the charge of 'aiding in the 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.'
Ayşe Barım, who has serious health problems in prison, had her first trial hearing on July 7 at the Istanbul 26th Heavy Penal Court. The court decided to continue her detention, and the case was postponed to October 1. The Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office requested an evaluation from the Forensic Medicine Institution on July 11 regarding whether there were any concerns about Barım's health condition in staying in prison.
During the hearing held on October 1, the court panel announced its interim decision, stating that considering the findings regarding the aneurysm in the reports available in the file related to Barım's brain and heart conditions, the findings in the conclusion section of the Forensic Medicine Institution's report, the proposed treatments and procedures, and the time spent in detention, the benefits expected from the arrest could also be achieved through judicial control measures. Therefore, it was decided to release the defendant under the conditions of "not leaving the residence" and "prohibition of leaving the country."
The prosecutor objected to Barım's release. The court panel, which did not accept this objection, sent the file to the higher court, the Istanbul 27th Heavy Penal Court. The Istanbul 27th Heavy Penal Court examined the prosecutor's objection regarding Barım's release in the case where she is being tried for "aiding in the 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 court panel accepted the objection and issued an arrest warrant for Barım.
