Statement from 17 prosecutors at the ‘Opinions of frontline prosecutors on the current situation’
First of all, I would like to say that I sincerely apologize for causing concern to people who are going through difficult times with infectious diseases.
Like the prosecutors who are in charge of the National Prosecutor’s Office before the unprecedented ‘Suspension of the Prosecutor’s Office and Disciplinary Claims’ I am forced to give a minimum of opinions.
According to the constitution and the law, the provision of a system that guarantees the mandate of the attorney general after receiving the appointment of the president through the staff hearing of the National Assembly and the deliberation of the Council of State is for the control democratic and political neutrality of the prosecution.
However, in response to a request for disciplinary action against the attorney general, who was found to be impatient and unreasonable in terms of legal procedures and content, most prosecutors were concerned about the policy of “ political neutrality and the state of law of the prosecution. I am concerned if it is serious damage.
In order not to undermine the objective of the prosecution reform to ensure democratic control and political neutrality of the prosecution, nor undermine its authenticity, we sincerely request the Minister of Justice to reconsider and correct the request for suspension and disciplinary action against the attorney general. I hope you open your heart and listen to the voices of others. Most prosecutors anxiously hope that this unreasonable situation can be corrected so that they can faithfully work on the original prosecution duties.
Once again, I feel sorry for the people and I will do everything possible to ensure that human rights and a crime-free society are guaranteed by establishing an institutional reform of the prosecution service.
