Individual Application

Inadmissibility of the alleged violation of the right to personal liberty and security

The applicant, an accountant in the administrative board of an association, was detained on remand and subsequently convicted for his membership of an armed terrorist organisation, namely the FETÖ/PDY. Having concluded that there was a strong indication of guilt on the applicant’s part in respect of the imputed offences, based on the findings of the law enforcement units, public authorities and judicial authorities on ByLock, the encryption techniques of this application, the statements of certain ByLock users, and the existence of other facts and evidence pointing to the relation with the FETÖ/PDY of a significant part of the persons determined to have used ByLock, the Court found inadmissible the alleged violation of the right to personal liberty and security, as being manifestly ill-founded.
