Tayfun Kahraman reacts to inequality in justice through his daughter: I need to tell Vera

Tayfun Kahraman, who is being tried in the Gezi Park trial and has been imprisoned for 4 years, shared a photo with his daughter Vera on social media, making a significant point and expressing his longing for his daughter.

Kahraman captioned the photo, taken during a hearing, with the note: "I need to tell Vera when I will return now." 

What happened?

On July 31, 2025, the Constitutional Court ruled that Kahraman's right to a fair trial, within the scope of the right to a fair trial, had been violated and ordered the case to be sent to the Istanbul 13th High Criminal Court for a retrial to eliminate the consequences of the violation of the right to a fair trial.

The Istanbul 13th High Criminal Court rejected the request for a "retrial" made following the Constitutional Court's (AYM) ruling of rights violation regarding Tayfun Kahraman.

In its rejection decision, the court claimed that the AYM, which had ruled that Kahraman's right to a fair trial was violated and that a retrial should be held by stating "there is no causal link between his actions and acts of violence," was "acting like a super-appeals court."

Kahraman, who suffers from MS, has been hospitalized several times due to attacks during his 4-year imprisonment and was sent back to prison after treatment.
