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.
