. @TheLawSociety president @Blacklawslaw: Draconian measures introduced during the state of emergency in Turkey have now been incorporated into the country’s permanent legal framework, expanding the powers of the president and restricting access to justice for ordinary citizens.
The rule of law and legal profession independent of government are cornerstones of a healthy democracy in which citizens have access to justice, power can be held to account and lawyers can practise without hindrance or intimidation,' said @LawSocPresident. via @LawSocietyGazet
