According to his lawyer, the prosecutor imposed some restrictions on access to his case, a prosecutorial authority introduced after a coup attempt in July 2016.
He was previously convicted of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and given a suspended sentence. During a now-ended two-year-long state of emergency declared immediately after the failed coup, he was dismissed from his position at Ankara University Law School by a government decree. He later passed the university entrance exam and tried to enroll in his faculty as a student; however, the university management prevented him from registering by changing the regulations. “I am an expelled law expert. I am banned from publishing articles in magazines and attending scientific meetings. I am forbidden to work in the public sector. I am forbidden to work at a private university. I am forbidden to have a license to practice law. I am forbidden to enroll at Ankara University as a student. I am forbidden to hold a passport and go abroad,” he tweeted on Nov. 2, highlighting the government pressure imposed on dismissed public servants.
