Turkish legal and terrorism regulation discussions

Overview

Feti Yıldız, Deputy Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), has addressed various aspects of the Turkish legal system and upcoming legislative changes.

Initially, Yıldız provided commentary on criminal procedure, emphasizing the necessity of conscientious proof and the principle of freedom of evidence. Regarding the use of secret witnesses, he argued that such measures should be used only when absolutely necessary and that defendants must maintain the right to orally question them.

Subsequently, Yıldız detailed a new legal regulation passed by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey as part of the ‘Terror-free Turkey’ process. This regulation is expected to affect approximately 2,800 individuals, with implementation anticipated to conclude by the end of November. However, he clarified that certain groups are excluded from these benefits, specifically the founding cadre of terrorist organizations and roughly 230 high-level executives who have held leadership roles since 1984.
