STATEMENT FROM DİLEK İMAMOĞLU

Following the negative test result, Dilek İmamoğlu addressed the Ministry of Justice in a post on her social media account.

Dilek İmamoğlu stated the following:

"Today, the result of the drug test performed on my brother, Ali Kaya, came back NEGATIVE.

So, what happens now? What should happen is his immediate release.

I am asking now; who will be held accountable for this heavy price paid by someone who should not have been kept in prison for even 1 hour?

Reputations are being damaged, families are being worn down, and shadows are being cast over lives. These things have no benefit to our country; on the contrary, trust in the judiciary is decreasing day by day because of these events.

Pressuring families does not give anyone power; it only wounds the conscience of society and shakes trust in justice.

Trial without detention is essential; all our prisoners should be released immediately and the process should shift to trial without detention.

That is why I am saying it once again, as clearly as possible:

Stay away from families.

Do not make families targets.

Stop instrumentalizing the law."
