The fascist Erdoğan dictatorship, having vowed to extend the state of emergency in its election manifesto, is preparing to make the State of Emergency permanent by “final decree”.

About the final decree, the former prime minister, Binal Yıldırım said: “The provisions needed for the fight against terrorism not to be compromised will be included in this decree ”

According to the press, the fasist dicatorship will take the French state as a model by making the fascist provisions of the state of emergency permanent, under the law of “Act to Reinforce Internal Security and the Fight Against Terrorism”.

The act that has been drafted is said to have taken account of the provision contained in Article 15 of the European Convention on Human Rights, “In time of war or other public emergency threatening the life of the nation any High Contracting Party may take measures derogating from its obligations under this Convention to the extent strictly required by the exigencies of the situation, provided that such measures are not inconsistent with its other obligations under international law.” The act being drafted will be framed within the scope of the Counterterrorism Law and Turkish Penal Law. Accordingly, as in the French example, it is noted that in combatting terrorism the security forces “may be vested with powers of administrative control, monitoring, surveillance and seizure targeting individuals with a view to ensuring public security.”

Other features expected to be included in the act are as follow:

-If approved, the security forces can be vested with powers of monitoring and surveillance of sporting activities and cultural events held in public spaces.

-The religious meeting places of members of organisations, chiefly FETO, will be closed. The security forces and civil service administrators will be vested with the power to monitor and close religious venues and places in areas in which terrorism is being combatted actively.

-Secure zones can be created to counter the possibility that severe attacks may be staged against the public order and public resources in areas in which terrorism is being combatted actively.

-In view of the heavy migration from countries such as Syria and Afghanistan in recent years, following the French example, provincial governors can be vested with the power to apply the necessary regulations and measures to create secure zones and protected areas in terms of where people are to live. There is also talk of judges and prosecutors being empowered by the act to extend arrest periods if there is strong suspicion and evidence regarding terrorist organisation members.
