Former AKP Parliament Speaker Bülent Arınç shared a post on social media criticizing the detention of detained Beylikdüzü Mayor Mehmet Murat Çalık, detained Eyüpsultan Mayor Mithat Bülent Özmen and detained city planner Tayfun Kahraman.
While Arınç was telling about visiting Murat Çalık in the hospital and meeting Mithat Bülent Özmen, he warned them to "re-read" the Tayfun Kahraman message given by the Constitutional Court.
Arınç's entire post is as follows:
"Don't touch the effort...
I had the following incident regarding Beylikdüzü Mayor Murat Çalık: About two years ago, Murat Çalık's advisor came to visit me and said, "Sir, my mayor wants to meet you." "I don't know him," I said. He also talked about himself as a very good person, and even said that he had two sons and that he hired a private teacher to help them receive religious knowledge. I said, "Good, let him come." He came to visit me in Ankara. He was a very good person and spoke very well. He introduced himself and said, "I only want to serve Beylikdüzü." he said. I sent him off, but about a year later he was detained and arrested. I was very upset because he was also suffering from a serious illness and there was a danger of relapse at any moment. I went to Izmir, he was under treatment at the City Hospital. There were police officers, gendarmes and quite a crowd. At that time, his mother, wife and two sons were waiting outside. I talked to them. His mother was in tears, she believed that her son would not do such a thing, and so did his wife. So I consoled them. "It will definitely come out, don't worry, justice will be served," I said. But then it didn't happen, all his demands were rejected and his mother goes to every hearing in front of the hospital when he was in the hospital and now in Silivri, waiting for her son to be released one day. While I was consoling him, they told him that he was from Çayeli. I said: "Mom, I hope your son will be released, we will all be happy together, and you will make us some Çayeli beans." This time he started to cry out of joy, I left him with tears.
MEETING MİTHAT BÜLENT ÖZMEN
Secondly, Eyüp Sultan Mayor Mithat Bülent Özmen... We met at a meeting, he came and introduced himself. He mentioned that he had previously worked at İGDAŞ; He received a very good education, worked in the private sector and devoted himself to those jobs. One day, he received an offer: "We liked you, we looked at your work, we will make you the Mayor of Eyüp Sultan," they said. Surprised. "I can't decide this right away, our mother is the most religious person in our house, she prays day and night, I need to ask her. 'Mommy, I received such an offer, what do you think?' He said, "Take me to Eyüp Sultan immediately." They visited His Holiness Eyüp Sultan, stayed there for hours, and prayed with tears. His mother said, "Son, if God wills it, if it is destined for you to serve here, become a candidate." Then he said, "I am a candidate." Now, I would never have thought that such a beautiful person would be accused one day, or even accused of a connection in Ankara.
As far as I could see, they were both excellent, moral, clean, hard-working people who did their job well. Now both of them are in prison. I gave these examples because I know them, but apart from these, dozens of people somehow go to prison every day. No indictment has been written against them for months, they are waiting for the day they will be released from prison; Mothers are crying, fathers are crying, children are crying, spouses are crying. Unfortunately, we are in such an environment.
Constitutional Court Decision and TYFUN KAHRAMAN
I am a lawyer. Those who prioritize law and justice should read the Constitutional Court's second decision on Tayfun Kahraman once again and see what the violation of rights is in judicial proceedings.
If there is a suspicion of a crime and strong evidence on any issue, investigations are carried out, we are not against them. "But regarding investigations, the procedures in the Code of Criminal Procedure must be followed, and the human, conscientious and legal dimensions of the matter should never be neglected."
