The "exception" broke the rule: Pre-trial detention is the norm, freedom the exception

the practice of pre-trial detention, which has been removed from being a precautionary measure and transformed into an instrument of punishment, has caused türkiye to fail on the subject of human rights. türkiye has been convicted 865 times at the european court of human rights (echr) on the grounds of violating the "right to liberty", which includes the provision "no one shall be deprived of their liberty except in exceptional cases".
