Her name is #EbruTimtik
She was a lawyer
18 months ago she was jailed on absurd charges
239 days ago she began a hunger strike demanding a fair trial
Ystdy, on day 238, she died
I didn't know her, but for my friends who did, I'm so sorry
We will not let her death be in vain

Writing to her sister recently, Barkın Timtik - also a lawyer & also in prison - wrote to #EbruTimtik.
"It as an intellectual responsibility to help expose this illegality", she said.
On this dark day, Barkın, we hope that Ebru's death reminds the world of that responsibility.

In July 2019, a forensic medical report found that #EbruTimtik, then 210 days into her death fast, "cannot remain in prison". The report was also about Ebru's fellow hunger-striking lawyer #AytaçÜnsal.
The court in #Turkey rejected the report's findings. https://twitter.com/MilenaBuyum/status/1288780624594178048

Just incredibly sad
For Ebru’s family & friends
For Turkey & for this fragile planet that needs people of principle & courage like Ebru, now, more than ever

My TL is being filled with people saying: “There are no lawyers/journalists/human rights activists in jail in #Turkey, only terrorists!”
This was Erdogan's senior advisor, @Gulnuray taking about a country that is the world's biggest jailer of journalists.

A few nights ago, I stumbled upon these musicians ( @ilanalorraine & @daledavisbass) jamming in a park
“You’ve got what it takes so just be brave
You can be a saviour to yourself”
I’d like to dedicate this song to #EbruTimtik & all those trying to make the world a better place.
