Turkey’s Constitutional Court has reportedly issued a ruling of lack of jurisdiction regarding the individual application made for the entry of Munir Rahvancıoğlu, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Path to Independence (BY).
Rahvancıoğlu was denied entry into Turkey on September 27, 2022, at Ankara Esenboğa Airport, under the pretext of code N-82. Following this incident, he filed an individual application to the Constitutional Court to contest the decision. In response to the developments, BY released a statement providing information about the process.
Constitutional Court’s Decision and Process
The statement emphasized that the Second Commission of the First Section of the Constitutional Court evaluated Rahvancıoğlu’s application and ruled lack of jurisdiction. This decision means that the judicial process regarding Rahvancıoğlu’s entry into Turkey has effectively come to an end at the Constitutional Court.
Appeal to ECHR Considered
Additionally, the written statement noted that Rahvancıoğlu is considering the option of appealing to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) following the Constitutional Court’s decision. This suggests that the legal process may escalate to an international level.
Rahvancıoğlu indicated that his right to enter Turkey has been violated, and he plans to pursue this issue at the ECHR. This ruling draws attention as part of the ongoing political and legal debates in Turkey.
