12. One of the many plaintiffs filed in the country in relation to the PTF / PDY was detained by
the Erzincan Assize Court on 16/6/2016 (E.2016 / 74). It was stated that in the order of the decision, the PTO / PDY
was organized in the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), in particular the judiciary and security units, and went to a
different structure apart from the hierarchical structure of the state ; it is accepted that the structuring in this respect
is a weaponized organization of terror (Aydn Yavuz et al., 32).

13. On the other hand, the Supreme Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) has been subjected to
disciplinary investigations on the grounds that some members of the judiciary have committed irregularities in connection
with this structure (see Mustafa Baer and Metin zelik, B. No: 2015/7908, 20/1/2016, 38-43, Sleyman

16. During and after the coup attempt an investigation was initiated by the Republican Chief Public
Prosecutors over many individuals linked to the FETET / PDY , including the members of the judiciary, who
were not linked to the coup attempt or directly connected with the coup attempt (the structure behind the fire) (Aydn
Yavuz and others, 51).
17. In this context, the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor initiated an inquiry for the first time about the
presence of three members of the judiciary , including the high court members, with the PTT / PDY; It was decided
by HSYK on 16/7/2016 that 2,745 judges and the public prosecutor who initiated the investigation on their rights

judges hi individual applications made by the alleged lack kuki is unacceptable because it is clearly
unsubstantiated see also Mustafa Baer and Metin zelik, 134-161). In the Supreme Court of Appeals decision, it
was stated that "there is a strict hierarchical bond between the founder, the administrators and the members , that
he observes the confidentiality , hides the difference between the apparent face and the true face and has sufficient
elements, tools and attitudes to achieve this purpose . the result of the environment of chaos created by the methods

judicial institutions as well as the TSK, the police and the civilian administrative units , which are considered
important in terms of state administration, and gave great importance to the staffing in the judiciary .

ii. FETET / PDY, the questions of entrance exams to the judges and the hunting profession have been
obtained and given to their members in advance with their answers, allowing them to enter the profession unfairly . Thus,
a large number of people who have contact with the structure have been involved in judicial proceedings as judges
and prosecutors .

iii. Feto / PCM; how and where the judges and prosecutors who belong to them will choose their wives

comfortably in the places where they are going, be clingy , become a governor, become a judge who appreciates an
ordinary judge," "

positive evaluations to the records of the members of the judiciary who are interested in the structure - often in

investigations. In contrast feto / PCM with the aimof inactivation of unrelated members of the judiciary have been

Constitution, which is directly contactable with Fetullah Gulen if necessary, and is selected among those who may

country .

xiii. The High Council was created in 2010 feto / take part in a major proportion in connection of

Accordingly, the existence of reasonable doubt to obtain the evidence in the case-concrete outsider to consider

B. Evaluation
51 of the Constitution, "Fundamental Rights and Freedom limiting melted" edges entitled Article 13 is as
follows:

"Fundamental rights and freedoms, their essence only due to reasons mentioned in the Constitution
related substances, and only limited by law. These limits of the Constitution, in word and spirit of
the democratic order of society and the requirements of the secular republic and proportionality can not be
contrary to the principle."
52 of the Constitution, "stopping the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms" edge titled 15 . which reads
as follows:
"War, mobilization, martial law or state of emergency, international provided that no violation of law
obligations on the situation deserves extent are thienyl required and the use of freedom partially or may not
be completely stopped, or they can be taken for measures against the guarantees provided for in the Constitution.
In cases specified in paragraph elephants appropriate legal battle that occurred as a result of deaths outside
the person's right to life, physical and spiritual presence dokunulanaz the integrity of the n; one religion,
conscience, can not be compelled to reveal his thoughts and convictions because of them; crime and punishment in
the past can not be executed; guilt is proven by a court order until someone considered guilty. "
53 of the Constitution "Personal freedom and security" on the edges of Article 19 titled first sentence of the
third paragraph by paragraph reads as follows:
"Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person.

Persons with symptoms strongly about Suluhg, but their escape, the evidence in order to prevent the
destruction or alteration or mandating the tutuklana as shown in these and other cases the law can be arrested
by decision of a judge. "
54. The applicant's claim of constitutional guarantees in article 19 of the scope of the right to personal
freedom and security must be taken investigated.
1. Regarding the Applicability
55. The Constitutional Court Aydn Yavuz and others in the decision, outstanding management procedures of
individual applications relating to measures taken during the period applied when reviewing the Constitution, fundamental
rights laid down in Article 15 and on freedom has indicated that it will consider the assurance regime. Accordingly, an
exceptional case finding and fundamental rights subject to the individual application as well as the promulgation of this
and Ozge In case of a connection with rlk interventions constituting the measure extraordinary situation examination of
the Constitution shall be made in accordance with Article 15 (Aydn Yavuz et al, pp 187-191).
56. After the coup attempt occurred on July 15, 2016 President's I chaired the Council of Ministers
on 21.07.2016 decided the declaration of a state of emergency; then the state of emergency, four kez is extended by
months. Why the state of emergency declared at the beginning of the coup attempt comes (Aydn Yavuz and others,
224, 226). Blow with the state of emergency declared in danger, as well as arising from undertakings that are
behind this attempt assessed feto / the PD resulting from threats and hazards of disposal is seen as intended (Aydn Yavuz
and others, 48, 222, 229). Indeed blow

Behind the restructuring of enterprises Feton / PCM is that for the public authorities and the investigation of
implied factual basis for the assessment is based on (and others Aydn Yavuz, S. 216).
57 on the date of the applicant's arrest in Turkey, emergency rule is in force procedure. Investigation of
implied applicant coup attempt against the applicant, although claiming to have committed an offense
under and accusations that are subject to detention measures, the applicant behind the coup attempt indicated that
restructuring feto / PCM member is alleged to be (see. 24, 33). The investigation authorities and the judicial
authorities, the embodiment referred to on the basis of concrete facts armed considers that it is a terrorist
organization (see. 11-12, 20-21). Thus, the applicant's allegations that the state of emergency basis for the
arrest of the ad seems to be related to events which makes it necessary.

58. Keep imposed on the applicant in this regard the explanations legal measures to examine whether there
shall be made under Article 15 of the Constitution. This investigation primarily during the first constitution of the
arrest of the applicant 13 and 19 located to secure other substances including substances contrary is excessive to
be determined whether or not; If it is found in the Constitution, Article 15 ayknlk if the evaluation criteria would not
make this contradiction legitimized (Aydn Yavuz and others, murine myeloma cells 193-195, 242).

2nd. General Principles


59 of the Constitution in the first paragraph of Article I of Article 19, everyone's personal liberty, and the
second and third after put forward as the principle that the right to security in the paragraph on freedom of the person,
provided that shown in Figure and conditions of the law situations to be deprived were counted as limited. Thus personal
freedom and Restriction safety but under Constitution of said agent may be in the presence of any of said given
state (Murata Narman , B. No: 2012/1137, 07.02.2013, 42).
60. interference with the right to personal freedom and security, fundamental rights and setting out the
criteria for limiting the usual period of freedom 13 of the Constitution unless the fulfillment of the conditions
specified in Article of the Constitution would constitute a violation of Article 19. Thi s is why the
restriction Anayasa'mn specified and falling under Article 13 measures appropriate to the nature of arrest; law by
item Prospec ted to the Constitution, Article 19 of the third paragraph of specified based on the right of one or more
causes and to be contrary to the principle of proportionality must be determined whether suitable conditions (Halas
Leo, B. No: 2014/4994, 16/02/2017, 53 , 54; Aydn Yavuz, et al, pp 246, 226).
61. Constitutional materials 13 and 19 as a legal basis arrest accordance interference with personal freedom
is obligatory (Murata Narman 43; Halas Leo, 55).
62 of the Constitution in the third paragraph of Article I of Article 19, about the guilt strong indications
that the persons who barely escape their evidence, destroy or in order to prevent users from changing or arrests like
these that makes mandatory and in other cases specified by the law are expressed can arrest the judge karanyl (Halas
Leo, S. 57) . According to the arrest but "people who are strong indications of guilt about" possible terms. Ie the arrest
in a legitimate prerequisite for lack of purpose, people's fault strong indications about the Lea gal

There is. This matter is an indispensable element measures sought for arrest. The blame for it must be supported by
credible evidence that can be considered strong. The nature of the facts and information that can be considered
convincing evidence in the present case largely depends on the specific circumstances (Mustafa Ali Balbay, B. No:
2012/1272, 12/04/2013,
72).
63 in the presence of a strong initial arrest suspected crime to be revealed together with all the evidence
may not always be possible. Of a holding aim of confirming suspicions about people or refute by the
criminal investigation and / or to advance the prosecution (Dursun Cicek, B. No: 2012/1108, 16.07.2014, S. 87; Halas
Leo, 76). Therefore immediate arrest or detention to have collected sufficient evidence is not necessarily required.
Criminal charge and therefore water would be fine with arrest essential facts constituting the grounds for the suspicion ,
which will be discussed in the later stages of the proceedings and convictions on grounds Create proven cases it
should not be considered at the same level (Mustafa Ali Balbay,
73).
64. Also in the third paragraph of the Constitution, Article 19 of the arrest "escape" or "destruction or
modification of evidence" to prevent and suggested to be issued. Constituent, as regards the causes arrest "arrest as
they mandating and other cases in that in the law" to the phrase by giving place limited to those defined in the
Constitution of cause and arrest mentioned that both a reason for imprisonment outside thereof but by law possible
Kilmer regulation is the work (Halas Leo , 58).
65 in the 5271 law 100th regulation of the arrests caused the substance, of people but the strong
suspicion that they committed an offense in law if the presence of the cases indicating the presence of and
a reason for arrest tutuklanab the after mentioned line will be grounds for arrest were counted. According to the
suspect or the accused to escape, hiding, or arouse the suspicion of the few concrete cases where there is; The behavior
of the suspect or the accused will destroy evidence, hide, or change; witness, victim or attempting to apply pressure on
others in creating a strong suspicion still in detention matters can be given decision. Whether the material is also
provided strong suspicion has processed arrest net is a list relating to offenses assumed that n (Ramazan Aras, B. No:
2012/239, 07.02.2013, S. 46; Halas Leo, 59).
66. Constitution 13. The material for the basic rights and freedoms further restrictions "proportionality" be not
contradict the principle that has yed. The Constitution's 19th place in the third paragraph of the article "arrest
mandating" with the phrase also is noted that the arrest should be restrained. It said constitutional provisions
parallel to Article 100 of Law No. 5,271; importance of the job is not proportional with the expected penalty if
granting or arrest safety measure is expressed not is decided (Halas Leo, 72).
67. in Article 13 of the Constitution of the area "proportionality" to observe the principle is primarily the
task of the judicial authorities implementing the measures arrest. Therefore, a measured arrests of measures
implemented under criminal investigation or prosecution whether the first decision concerning the
detention determined through the grounds of purification can be(Murat Narman, 62). In the grounds of the
decision on detention, the prerequisite for the arrest of the "people's guilt about where strong signs", the also "reasons
of arrest" should be introduced to the n t is. This issue arrest
