They faced, once more, an excessive response from the police. Nonetheless, women’s rights organisations, the LGBTI+ community, and human rights groups, have continued their protests to overturn the decision. Several bar associations, among others, have brought an appeal to the Council of State challenging the ‘constitutionality’ of the president’s decision. https://www.sivilsayfalar.org/2021/03/26/statements-do-not-suffice-concrete-steps-are-a-must/?fbclid… […]
