The Platform (which gathers the four European most important judicial organisations, namely the European Association of Judges–EAJ, Judges for Judges, the European Association of Administrative Judges and MEDEL) has repeatedly and openly warned against the brutal assaults against and ill-treatment of imprisoned Turkish judges and prosecutors, i.e. gross violations of basic human rights.
