Court board negotiated decisions in front of the public and prosecutor ,when they had to discuss the privately. In the 47% of the cases, decisions didn’t made properly covered.

In the 13% of the cases, chief judge was changed of duty.

In the 13% of the ongoing cases, judge functioning as the chief was changed. And in the 10,5% of the cases, two judges from court board (chief judge and another member) was changed of duty.

For instance in Gezi Case Court Boards chief judge were replaced-by the high council of judges and prosecutors which its members directly assigned by president and council- after giving his opinion in favour of the defendants. 

Using criminal codes to aim and silence opponent journalists, activist and academicians and restraining freedom of speech had some effects on society.
