Turkey releases Brussels Airport suicide bomber, member of ISIS
A penal court in Turkish capital Ankara has cited reasonable doubt regarding the acquittal of ISIS member Burhan Gök, who was on trial for alleged connections to several ISIS bombings in Turkey and Europe, in its ruling released on Wednesday. This comes as a continuation of a recent (April 2020) Turkey’s top appellate court certification that jihadist, Salafist group Ahrar al-Sham (Free Men of Syria) is not considered a terrorist organization and overturned the conviction of a militant who fought for the group as well as for Jabhat al-Nusra (CLICK TO SEE).
In other words, it seems the Erdogan regime continues its practice to nullify evidence that considers terrorists, members of Islamic terrorist organisations, ether by deleting the names of organisations from terrorist groups or by assuming that evidence that is not collected in a particular way is not…evidence!
According to Ahvalnews. the Turkish court has cited reasonable doubt regarding the acquittal of suspected ISIS member Burhan Gök, who was on trial for alleged connections to several ISIS bombings in Turkey and Europe, in its detailed ruling released on Wednesday. Gök, had been arrested in the same car as Orhan Gönder, had been part of or loyal to the Islamic State terrorist organisation, or received orders within its hierarchical structure, journalist Gökçer Tahincioğlu wrote in an article for news website T24. In the same case, the man who placed explosives on the site of a Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) rally in southeastern Kurdish-majority province of Diyarbakır where four people died and more than 400 were injured, Orhan Gönder, was sentenced to “four counts of life in prison, 104 counts of 17 years in prison for major attempted murder, 102 counts of 14 years in prison for attempted murder, and 13 months and four months in prison for possession of dangerous substances,” along with Mustafa Kılıç and İsmail Korkmaz, Tahincioğlu said. Also arrested in the same car was Ibrahim Al Bakraoui, one of the Brussels Airport suicide bombers of 2016 who went to Belgium following his release from prison in Turkey. The court ruled that evidence of the phone calls had been… collected unlawfully (!!!) “in a display of sensibility long unseen in the judiciary,” Tahincioğlu said, and therefore could not be…used against the suspect(!!!) There had been “many phone calls with İlhami Balı” via a mobile number Gök had admitted to owning, the court said. There were also calls from different numbers that allegedly belonged to Gök, but there was no evidence to prove this, it said. There was no warrant to tap Gök’s phone, according to the court, and the investigators should have petitioned a relevant warrant it said.More about this in Ahval
All the above increasingly indicate, that Turkey has gradually shifted to a terrorist state. While Turkish state has been committing genocide against Kurds, its own citizens, illegally occupying Cyprus – sovereign state, commiting imperialistic wars in Syria and Libya, and torturing its own journalists, it nullifies at the same time evidence that relates to islamic terrorists ! This is undoubtedly a strange achievement, for Erdogan’s government and Turkish state…
