Reply of the applicant to the observations of the Government of Turkey submitted to the European Commission of Human Rights in the Aslantaş case. The reply submits that any purported domestic remedy is illusory and ineffective, that at no point has Aslantaş advocated violence or sought to interfere with the rights of others, and that Aslantaş has been unable to work freely as a lawyer and is being targeted for his human rights work, especially with regards to assisting in bringing cases before the Commission. Attached are two statements (in Turkish with English translation) from Aslantaş which were not submitted with the replies. The first statement is addressed to the European Commission of Human Rights, stating that the denial of his appeal by the Supreme Court constitutes the exhaustion of his domestic remedies. He notes the prejudicial language of the decision, and that he is also being tried in two other cases in Diyarbakır State Security Court. The second statement is addressed to Diyarbakır State Security Court No. 3, refuting testimony by Abdulhakim Güven, former prisoners' representative at Diyarbakır E-Type Prison, who accused Aslantaş of being affiliated with the PKK and the Kurdistan National Assembly ('It is clear that Abdulhakim Güven has not hesitated to make imputations against everyone he knows in one way or another in order to save himself').

Replies of the applicant to the supplementary observations of the Turkish Government in the Sabuktekin case.

Attached (in Turkish with English translation) is Sultan Sabuktekin's statement of 30 July 1998 regarding the statement she gave to the Public Prosecutor at the Adana National Security Court on 15 April 1998.

Response of the applicant in the Çelikbilek case to the observations of the Turkish Government. Among various points contradicting the observations, the reply notes that even though Abdurrahman Çelikbilek was a second-hand witness, the Government offers no evidence that it has tried to obtain eyewitness testimony regarding the events of 14 December 1994. The reply also notes that Abdurrahman would naturally be shy about providing names of witnesses in light of that he suspects that one of the reasons for his brother killing was the fact that he has accused the security forces of killing Amber Yılmaz. The reply also points out that the autopsy report indicates that Abdulkadir Çelikbilek's death was slow and tortuous, making the inadequate nature of the investigation even more serious. The applicant reiterates his pleading with regard to violations of Articles 2,3, 6, and 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and now submits that Article 13 has also been violated due to the inadequacies of the investigation.
