Alert! Prosecutors Who Exposed Weapon shipments to ISIS are themselves Jailed!

Imagine if an official enemy rather than NATO member did this..Imagine Iran or President Assad himself, imagine if they HAD done this: send weapons to ISIS and then when their own prosecutors found out and tried to investigate it, THROW the prosecutors in JAIL and charge THEM. The headlines would be SCREAMING out this utterly morally depraved display of contempt for law and order on top of disgusting support for ISIS...but that’s NOT what Iran or Syria’s President Assad are doing, that’s what TURKEY, the “NATO-member” and “Ally” is doing.

STORY

In the latest of a series of revelations, the Turkish authorities have allegedly been providing electricity to Tel Abyad — a northern Syrian city just across the border from the Turkish city of Akçakale — which is controlled by militants linked to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

More stunning is the not-so-secret presence of ISIL militants on the streets of Akçakale, in the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa, a reporter with the Birgün daily claimed in a piece published on Friday. His account echoes many other reports…The Birgün report came at a time when Turkey is still discussing the role of the Turkish Intelligence Organization (MİT) in transporting and arming ISIL fighters.

Ballistic analysis reports of the weapons found in trucks owned by MİT that were stopped by investigators during a raid in January of 2014 have both acknowledged and documented the existence of weapons.

The report prepared by the Gendarmerie General Command four days after the investigation into the trucks took place states the weapons as being “able to explode on impact or with delay.” The report also noted that the arms could be deadly or injurious towards living things, destructive against non-living things and are classified as a weapon according to the Turkish Penal Code (TCK).

The report signed by Sgt. Maj. Celalettin Bardakçı, a bomb disposal expert and authorized by Celal Kara, the former public prosecutor who was in charge of the investigation, was compiled on the bullets and small missile warheads found in the trailers of the [Turkish Intelligence's] trucks. The larger components of the weapons such as rocket-propelled grenades could not be analyzed as they could not be transported  to Ankara [why "couldn't" they? -ED]

Four of the prosecutors and one of the commanders were imprisoned in early May in connection with the investigation of the trucks. Earlier this month the top judicial body formally cleared the way for legal proceedings to begin against five prosecutors and three gendarmerie commanders who were involved in the search of Syria-bound trucks in January of 2014.

The 2nd Chamber of the Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) allowed the prosecution of former Adana Chief Public Prosecutor Süleyman Bağrıyanık, former Adana Deputy Chief Public Prosecutor Ahmet Karaca and Adana prosecutors Aziz Takçı, Özcan Şişman and Yaşar Kavalcıoğlu. It also ruled to investigate Gendarmerie Commanders Col. Özkan Çokay, Erdal Yılmaz and Kubilay Ayvaz.

Bağrıyanık, Karaca, Takçı and Şişman as well as former Adana provincial gendarmerie commander Col. Çokay were imprisoned in early May on charges of “attempting to [hurt] the Turkish government through the use of force or coercion and exposing information regarding the security and political activities of the [Turkish] state” in connection with the search of what turned out to be weapon-filled trucks being operated by the MİT [Turkey's own "CIA" agency]

COMMENT: Imagine if an official enemy rather than NATO member did this..Imagine Iran or President Assad himself, imagine if they HAD done this: send weapons to ISIS and then when their own prosecutors found out and tried to investigate it, THROW the prosecutors in JAIL and charge THEM. The headlines would be SCREAMING out this utterly morally depraved display of contempt for law and order on top of disgusting support for ISIS…but that’s NOT what Iran or Syria’s President Assad are doing, that’s what TURKEY, the “NATO-member” and “Ally” is doing. The level of hypocrisy and oturight deception of the American people by typical mainstrema corporate media reporting is astounding. Another ally, the brutal head-chopping Saudi dictatorship (or “brutal Saudi REGIME” if we want to play that game the mainstream never tires of – one word applies to official enemies, but not to equally or far more brutal “allies”)

These disgusting revelations and updates about previous reports on Turkey’s behavior come at the last section of a longer article that includes that, by the way, Turkey is also giving electricity to an ISIS controlled town, allowing locals to make money to sell to smuggle chemicals needed for bomb-making, into Syria, and more
