The European Parliament is poised to call for EU sanctions against Turkish Justice Minister Akın Gürlek. A report, scheduled for a vote on June 17th, cites Gürlek’s involvement in politically motivated prosecutions as justification. The proposed sanctions would be targeted human rights measures. Slovenian MEP Vladimir Prebilič, involved in drafting the report, confirmed the recommendation. This move reflects growing concerns within the European Parliament regarding the rule of law and human rights in Turkey. The report urges the EU to consider concrete action against the minister. The outcome of the vote could significantly impact EU-Turkey relations.
