Gezi Park trial prisoner Tayfun Kahraman sends message from prison: Thanks Özel and party colleagues

Tayfun Kahraman, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison in the Gezi Park trial, has been incarcerated for 910 days.

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who recently met with Gezi Park trial prisoner Tayfun Kahraman's wife, Meriç Kahraman, and their daughter, Vera, in Istanbul, had stated: "Tayfun is a member of our party and someone who has served this city greatly. During the Gezi Park protests, he was the head of a professional organization, and a very important one at that. During the Gezi Park protests, he certainly could not remain indifferent to this issue, but he always played a mediating role."

Today, his wife, Dr. Meriç Demir Kahraman, who visited Tayfun Kahraman in Silivri, shared Tayfun Kahraman's message on her X social media account.

Kahraman reported that her husband expressed his gratitude to the CHP Beşiktaş District Organization, of which he is a member, to Istanbul Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik, and to CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, as well as to his party colleagues who kept his party membership card safe until he is released.

Tayfun Kahraman's wife, Meriç Kahraman, also stated: "For Tayfun to reunite with us, his family, his colleagues, his students, and his freedom as soon as possible, the injustices and unfairness we are experiencing as a country must come to an end. We are waiting for our application, which has been pending before the Constitutional Court for a long time, to be examined and for our right to a fair trial to be granted."
