The Constitutional Court of Turkey ruled that solely relying on the encrypted messaging program ByLock's data for a conviction, without proper examination and based on police reports, violates the right to a fair trial. The case of a teacher expelled after the July 15 coup attempt and convicted for using ByLock has been sent back to the Kayseri 2nd High Criminal Court for retrial. The court's decision was based on the rejection of a request for expert examination and found the application regarding the illegality of obtaining ByLock data inadmissible. The detailed reasoning for the decision will be published in the coming days. Lawyers Mehmet Kaya and Mehmet Velat İzol provided their analysis, with Kaya supporting the decision and İzol stating it does not change much for those convicted based on ByLock evidence, but affects those whose convictions were based solely on police reports.
