Case summary

One year and four months ago, lawyer Kahil was beaten by four police officers. So four lawyers have launched a big solidarity campaign in support of him on social media. One of the police officers claimed for defamation and contempt for the military establishment against Kahil. After the military court found the officers guilty of assaulting Kahil, Kahil went to the Civil Court to file a lawsuit against the police officers for compensation. In August 2019, the brother of the officer filed a lawsuit for defamation and contempt of the military against the background of what was published on social media.
