İSTANBUL - The ECHR assessed the appeal for Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan and argued that there is not enough evidence that he has been tortured.
 
The European Court of Human Rights announced that they have rejected the appeal submitted in 2010, 8 years later. The court mentioned that the Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) met with Öcalan in January 2010 and issued a report that said he “was not subjected to torture”.
The ECHR is expected to make the detailed verdict public during the day.
 
DECISION WAS BASED ON AN EXAMİNATION 10 YEARS AGO
 
ECHR asserted their decision was right becouse the case is manifestally ill founded becouse Öcalan never issued a complain to the prison administration or the CPT. ECHR reported that no physical or psychological disturbance was detected in Öcalan’s examination in 7th of october ,the date of the incident, or after that.
 
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?
 
The case in the ECHR is about the attack and death threat towards Öcalan during a cell search in 2008. In October 2008, Öcalan’s lawyers and 236 prisoners had appealed to the Bursa public prosecutor’s office on grounds that Öcalan was subjected to torture and death threats. The appeal submitted on March 2, 2010 to the ECHR had stressed violations of European Convention on Human Rights Article 2 regarding the right to life, Article 3 regarding the ban on torture, Article 6 regarding the right to a free trial, Article 13 regarding the right to effective appeal and Article 14 regarding the ban on discrimination.
