Court of Cassation member emphasizes constitutional principle: A rule everyone should know

Court of Cassation Member Metin Yandırmaz, who previously served as Deputy Chairman of the HSYK, reminded the public of Article 38 of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey in a post on his official X account.

In this post, Yandırmaz emphasized the importance of the presumption of innocence.

Metin Yandırmaz used the following expressions in his message:

"Article 38 of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey:

'No one shall be considered guilty until proven guilty by a court judgment.'

This is called the presumption of innocence in criminal law.

It is a fundamental right and rule that not only legal professionals but everyone should know."

This reminder by Court of Cassation Member Yandırmaz was interpreted as a reference to the operations conducted against CHP-run municipalities.
