Sedef Kabaş’s continued detention is against the law. This unlawfulness continues and it is extremely stressful for a whole society, albeit different segments. I don’t have anything in common with him, I don’t even like or approve of him, but even if my mortal enemy is treated unfairly, I will not settle for injustice. There must be justice for all. The organized use of state institutions to ministries in unlawful acts and in directing the decisions of the judiciary, the judiciary completely subordinated to politics, has reached an unacceptable and intolerable level.

In addition, if the sentences of people who frequently speak with similes and proverbs are to be taken to their true meanings, no one in this country can speak or write without committing a crime. Every day, people on the street commit threatening and insulting crimes dozens of times. Even judges and prosecutors commit crimes every day. As I wrote in my previous article, this degree of legal effort displayed by the mobilization of state institutions and officials must first be exhibited against the betrayals, corruption, murders, giveaways, and terrorism that have gripped the country. Not against journalists, writers, and thinkers who struggle to make the nation aware of the truth.

This extremely malicious but “official” and “unlawful” attitude on the issue of Sedef Kabaş will cause developments, explosions and flashes that could fundamentally confuse the whole of Turkey. It came to the throat of the nation… The plane whose planes could not fly because snowed little, and which had to land in Istanbul, was sent to Cairo, the highways were locked, tens of thousands of property damage accidents occurred, maybe a hundred thousand people were stranded on the roads, private vehicles were banned from the roads, newly built, there is a Turkey where the projects are useless, the municipalities can’t even find the money to pour salt on the roads, even old people wait in line for cheap bread in this snowy winter, where no one believes or trusts the independence of the courts. Turkey is living a near-miss of the big explosion and as if the attempts to intimidate the public in an organized manner with official institutions were not enough, some of the leashed dogs of the government are still trying to act as prosecutors on the screens, barking and snarling here and there. They put an unnecessary burden on their already overflowing nervous systems. Whatever happens is not good…
