Turkey’s Constitutional Court has found rights violations in the case of Mahiye Sevin Bayraktar, a lecturer at Ankara University who faced disciplinary action for distributing leaflets and hanging posters, the Artı Gerçek news website reported on Monday.
Bayraktar, a member of the EĞİTİM-SEN labor union, appealed to the Constitutional Court in 2020, claiming her freedom of expression was violated. She argued that her actions were part of her union activities.
