    Despite the complete absence of evidence against him, chair will NOT be released today! This is devastating news for his family & friends. He has been in jail for more than a year. His next hearing scheduled for Nov. We will redouble our efforts to

    1 yıldır haksız yere hapiste olan arkadaşımız 'ın tutukluğunun devamına karar verildi. Tüm delillerin suçsuz olduğunu göstermesine rağmen Taner, tutuklu kalmaya devam edecek. Bu adaletsizlik kabul edilemez! İnsan haklarını savunmak suç olamaz!

    Ruling coming soon on whether Taner Kılıç, honorary chair of Amnesty Turkey will be released after more than a year of arbitrary prison detention. There can only be one logical decision. Wait for it...

    : There was no ByLock on Amnesty Chair's phone. From the court in Istanbul comes news that the additional information requested by the judge has come through and says "there was no ByLock" on Taner's phone.

    About 30 minutes into Taner’s statement the judge says the additional report he has requested about the presence or absence of ByLock arrived this morning. It’s a page long and it says THERE IS NO BYLOCK on the phone!!!! NOW!!!
