* The ECHR verdict on Kuray states clearly that the sentence executed on grounds that he did not actionably perform the deeds in the bill of indictment, but gave the “order” relies decisively on the other defendants’ testimonies in the police station, that these testimonies have changed to a great extent in the process of the lawsuit, and most importantly that to deliver such a serious conviction based on contested testimonies would not comply with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
On March 25, 2008, the Istanbul Assize Court sentenced Mr Kuray to life imprisonment for attempting to overthrow the constitutional order by force, a sentence upheld on 22 October 2008 by the Court of Cassation.
