Izmir Bar Association to march to the Court of Cassation at midnight

The Court of Cassation 3rd Criminal Chamber decided not to comply with the Constitutional Court's (AYM) ruling for the retrial and release of Gezi Park trial defendant Can Atalay, who was elected as a deputy for the Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP). As reactions continue, the Izmir Bar Association has decided to hold a march.
