indictment

15 entries

Pages examining the grounds of the indictments, the articles charged and the contradictions they contain.

His defence at the terrorism hearing of 4 July 2019

Notes from the defence he made at the 11th High Criminal Court in the 17th month of his detention: the three items he counts as the reason the case was brought, and his answer to the indictment.

The Report That 20 Years in Prison Was Sought for Him

The figure circulated through Anadolu Agency on 23 July 2019 is the sum of the upper limits of the articles listed in the July 2019 indictment; it is not a sentence handed down by a court.

Out of context

The claim that Alparslan Kuytul was responsible for the foundation's affairs

The inspection report on page 50 of the indictment stated that Kuytul had never held any office in the executive organ of the foundation; even so, he was tried in detention in that same case file.

Unfounded

The Claim That an Unlicensed Dormitory Was Being Run

The places sealed as unlicensed dormitories belonging to the foundation turned out, in National Education reports and court rulings, to be private dwellings; the seals were lifted and the homes were reopened.

Unfounded

The claim that a 3-million-lira racket was run with fake receipts

A fake-receipt story was published on 27 February 2018; yet the police had seized the receipts in the search, and the copies left with the donors had been submitted to the court at the first hearing.

Unfounded

The claim that the Furkan Foundation is a criminal organisation

No aim of gain, no system of sanctions, no secrecy, no victim. The file whose hearings began on 22 January 2019 does not meet even one element of the definition of a criminal organisation.

Unfounded

The claim that he supports terrorism or regards it as legitimate

After the attack on the Adana governor's office on 25 November 2016 he said "rights are not sought by killing innocent people"; two years later he was named together with four separate terrorist organisations.

Unfounded

The claim that he made propaganda for a terrorist organisation

When the membership charge fell away, the single accusation left was propaganda; not one sentence could be shown, and the police did not send to the file a single one of his talks against those organisations.

Unfounded

The claim that he was a member of four terrorist organisations at the same time

He was accused of membership at the same time of four organisations that fight one another; when he was arrested the organisations were not even named, and in the final indictment all of the membership charges were withdrawn.

Unfounded

Nine Cases, Three Acquittals: What He Says About the Judiciary

The picture he gave on the TV5 broadcast of 11 December 2019: as of that day 9 cases opened, 3 acquittals, 6 ongoing files, and release at the first hearing in two separate files.

How Did the "An Economic Crisis Is Coming" Remark Enter the Indictment?

A crisis warning from one of his sermons was placed in the indictment of the 30 January 2018 file with the question "how did he know this"; Kuytul explains that this was not a prophecy but a sentence about consequences.

The "He made propaganda for FETÖ" claim

While the indictment writes propaganda for a terrorist organization, the police documents in the same case file write that no involvement, contact or association with FETÖ could be found. The contradiction lies inside a single file.

Unfounded

The allegation of fraud

In the 22 January 2019 case file there is not a single person who says they were defrauded; the indictment, meanwhile, refutes its own logic of fraud by writing that the expenses were shown as low.

Unfounded

The claim that the speeches complained of constituted an offence

Following the complaints of the summer of 2016 the original recordings were examined; the report stated that nothing constituting an offence had been found in the video recording, and one complainant withdrew his application.

Unfounded

The claim of a connection with the United Arab Emirates and Egypt

The report of 31 January 2018 did not write that a connection had been found but that one "was being investigated"; afterwards no document followed, nor did the claim enter any case file.
