The guards, who arrested Elif Nihan İşler for not wearing a mask in Bolu, fined TL 392 for violating the Fouls Law. İşler objected to the punishment, arguing that he did not know that wearing a mask was mandatory and that he was not warned.
The Bolu Magistrate’s Office found İşler’s objection justified and lifted the sentence. The Ministry of Justice intervened after the mask penalty was abolished. The Ministry asked the Supreme Court of Appeals to revoke the decision of the criminal court of peace, which annulled the mask penalty for the benefit of the law.
‘THE POLICE CANNOT PENALIZE’
The 19th Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Appeals accepted the request of the ministry with a majority of votes on November 9 and lifted the decision to annul the masked sentence of the Peace Penalty.
He gave a visa to the sentence for a mask, stating that the Hygiene Council of the Supreme Court can decide on the obligation to wear a mask. However, it was noted that posters and warning signs should be hung on the main streets and arteries of Bolu, as well as the radar badge, to wear masks.
According to the Sanitary Law, it was decided to apply the sanction as TL 392, not TL 3,150. The decision of the Supreme Court emphasized that the police can only keep records of people who do not wear masks, and the penal installation can be carried out by the governorates.
