Lawyers who are members of the Istanbul No. 2 Bar Association made a press statement in front of the Consulate General of Israel in Istanbul. The lawyers wore their robes and carried the Palestinian flag in their hands.
Lawyer Yasin Şamlı, President of Istanbul No. 2 Bar Association, said in his statement that Israel, using the latest actions of Hamas as an excuse, added a new one to the massacres it has been carrying out against civilians living in Gaza for decades.
Stating that the Israeli occupation, which forces Gazans to choose between dying hungry and without medicine, or dying fighting, is against the law and human dignity, Damascus stated that the Israeli regime occupied Palestinian lands in violation of many UN resolutions and international agreements.
Noting that Israel has seized some of the Palestinian people’s property, property and living spaces and forced them into Gaza, which it has turned into an open-air prison, Şamlı said, “Not content with occupation and blockade, it has violated the most basic human right, the right to life, and has violated hundreds of innocent women and children, let alone civilians.” “The number of children killed by bombs in the Israeli attacks of the last few days is in the hundreds.” he said.
Underlining that war also has a law and morality, Şamlı said, “The murder of innocent women and children who are not fighting and have nothing to do with the war with bombs is not fighting the enemy, but fighting against human dignity. It is a crime against humanity, terrorism. Terrorism is also a crime against humanity. If the act of terrorism is committed by a state.” “It is more serious. Because in this case, the terrorist act is committed with state power.” he said.
Emphasizing that lawyers should firstly object and raise their voice against the injustice and oppression suffered by the Palestinian people, Şamlı said, therefore, as the Istanbul No.
He stated that they stand with the Palestinian people in their cause.
