Five Turkish law professors have called on courts to fully apply European human rights rulings in cases involving people convicted of links to the faith-based Gülen movement, saying lawful activities and unverified digital evidence cannot by themselves prove membership in a terrorist organization. It said Turkish courts had effectively treated ByLock use as sufficient proof of knowingly belonging to a terrorist organization, creating a systemic problem requiring broader measures from Turkey. The European court reached similar conclusions in July 2025 in a case involving 239 applicants convicted of Gülen links. Mazılıgüney called on parliament and other political authorities to adopt legislation addressing differences in how lower courts implement rulings by the European court and Turkey’s Constitutional Court. He said inconsistent application of those judgments had prolonged rights violations, undermined legal certainty and generated additional cases before domestic and international courts.
