On 14 August, the Turkish Constitutional Court rejected the petition for the release of counsel Ebru Timti and Aytaç Ünsal, regardless of the fact that the two hunger strikers exceeded the critical threshold of the risk of death. The court argued that "there is no information about the emergence of a critical danger to their lives or moral and material integrity," so Timti has died on Thursday, after his struggle has taken the final toll.

Timtik was a member of the legal body The People's Public Office (OECD). As HKK announced on its Twitter account, Timti was receiving medical care after having suffered a cardiac arrest: "The pulse has stopped and we have discovered that you are receiving a cardiac massage. We have called on our colleagues and comrades to meet at Bakla rköy's Sadi Konuk Hospital." Later, in an up-to-date news, HKK has stated that Timtik has lost his life and is out of work.

Ebru Timti and Aytaç Ünsalena are on hunger strike for several months, although they have not managed to leave prison despite the fact that the Institute of Legal Medicine has declared that they "are not in a position to be in prison." None of the complaints lodged with the Turkish Constitutional Court were successful. The two lawyers, who were held in two hospitals in Istanbul, were against their will. According to the local news agency ANF, Ünsalek is still in critical condition.

Timti and Ünsalek, through the People's Public Office, supported militants of the communist organization DHKP-C in a complex process against them. However, the lawyers were sentenced to long prison terms based on anti-terrorist laws. Lawyers demand a fair trial with a hunger strike.

Fourth Fall

Three musicians from the Yorum group also recently died in Ankara, where they died as a result of political persecution by the Ankara Government. They were called Helin Böll, Mustafa Koça and Ibrahim Gökçe. Böln served 288 days on hunger strike, Koçak 297 and Gökçek 323.
