Turks Hooggerechtshof bekritiseert regering
The Constitutional Court had ruled to unblock Twitter before the March 30 local elections, but waited for the authorities to apply a stay of execution ruling before making it public, the courts head judge Ha?im K?l?ç revealed April 7.
The Constitutional Court met five days before the elections, on March 25. It debated the question and made a decision. But after that, we learned that a stay of execution was issued on the matter, so the court did not announce its decision, K?l?ç told journalists, referring to the ruling adopted by Ankaras 15th Administrative Court. Following the ruling, Turkeys telecommunications authority had 30 days to implement the decision and unblock access to the social media network, which it abstained to do.
We waited for the implementation of the 15th Administrative Courts decision. We waited a week or even longer, K?l?ç said.
