Top court unanimously accepts AK Party closure case

The Constitutional Court announced on Monday that it will hear an appeal to close down the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and ban 71 of its members from political party membership in a unanimous vote many believe will bring instability and chaos to the country.

The government is now expected to pass a series of changes that would limit the powers of the judiciary in closing down political parties.

Constitutional Court Deputy President Osman Alifeyyaz Paksüt announced the decision to the dozens of press members impatiently awaiting the afternoon verdict on Monday and stated that all 11 members of the panel of judges had voted in favor of hearing the case against the ruling party. The head prosecutor had asked the court to bar 71 individuals, including PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and President Abdullah Gül, from politics for five years. In the case of banning Gül from politics, the court voted 7-4 to consider the case, Paksüt said, adding that the case against the remaining 70 individuals had been accepted unanimously...(http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/, 01.04.2008).

Ulasan: Kepada seluruh ummat Islam sebagai rasa sedih kita terhadap ummat Islam Turki dengan kerenah puak sekular, sila DOAKAN supaya Allah melumpuhkan dan menggagalkan usaha puak sekular di Turki...dan memenangkan Islam di atasnya.
