Brexit and its implications on the freedom of religion and belief in the UK
This article examines what the implications of Brexit might be on the freedom of religion and belief, one of the most significant freedoms for social identity, in light of the ongoing debate concerning the political, economic, social and cultural effects of Brexit on the United Kingdom (UK). There is particular anxiety over increasing religious hate crime since the European Union (EU) Referendum of 23 June 2016, with people wondering if the tradition of tolerance in Britain will be affected. Consequently, in this article the following questions will be asked: Will Brexit seriously undermine the existential conditions of this freedom? Will Brexit enable the UK to present itself as a haven for people suffering because of restrictions on religious symbols introduced in Continental Europe? Are Government plans to prevent a rise in Brexit-related religious hate crimes sufficient? How should such hate crimes be combatted

Politically motivated prosecutions and detentions: grand chamber judgment in the case of Selahattin DemirtaÅŸ v. Turkey (no. 2)
This is a commentary paper by focusing on the European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber’s judgment in the case of Selahattin Demirtaş v. Turkey (no. 2). It is a controversial judgement which has received substantial international attention. In this case, the Court has been given the opportunity to reiterate its key positions on a highly important aspectof freedom of expression (Article 10), the right to liberty and security (Article 5) and the right to free elections (Article 3 of Protocol No. 1). In addition, the Court has for the first time handed down a judgment finding that Article 18 had been violated in conjunction with Article 5. Finally, this judgement is remarkable because it raises the question of what to do when Contracting Parties do not comply with ECtHR judgments (Article 46)

The right to privacy revisited: different international perspectives
This book focuses on the right to privacy in the digital age with a view to see how it is implemented across the globe in different jurisdictions. The right to privacy is one of the rights enshrined in international human rights law. It has been a topic of interest for both academic and non-academic audiences around the world. However, with the increasing digitalisation of modern life, protecting one’s privacy has become more complicated. Both state and non-state organisations make frequent interventions in citizens’ private lives. This edited volume aims to provide an overview of recent development pertaining to the protection of the right to privacy in the different judicial systems such as the European, South Asian, African and Inter-American legal systems. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights
The effect of anxiety and depression scores of couples who underwent assisted reproductive techniques on the pregnancy outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anxiety
and depression scores of couples who underwent Assisted Reproductive
Techniques (ART) on pregnancy outcomes. Method: This study was
conducted as a prospective and comparative study with 217 couples. The
study data was collected by using a semi-structured questionnaire and
the Turkish version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The questionnaire, STAI and BDI were
applied to couples who initiated ART treatment. Couples\u2019 state
anxiety scores were re-evaluated after embryo transfer (ET). Results: A
significant relationship was found between the depression score of
women and pregnancy outcome (p < 0.05). It was determined that
anxiety scores for both men and women were higher before the ART
procedure, but their anxiety scores decreased after ET (p < 0.05).
Spouses of women with a negative pregnancy outcome had higher trait and
state anxiety mean scores (p > 0.05) and lower depression scores (p
<0.05) than spouses of women with a positive pregnancy outcome.
Conclusion: Study results indicated that the anxiety and depression
scores of couples who had achieved a positive pregnancy result were
lower than for couples with a negative result. The results of this
study will contribute to the health professionals especially to the
nurses who spend the most time with couples in providing consulting
services and supporting psychological status of couples during ART
process in Turkey

Selahattin DemirtaÅŸ v. Turkey (no. 2): Prosecution of An Opposition Leader in Turkey
On 22nd December 2020, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) delivered its Grand Chamber judgment in Selahattin DemirtaÅŸ v Turkey (No. 2) (application no. 14305/17). In this case, the Court has been given the opportunity to reiterate its key positions on a highly important aspect of freedom of expression (Article 10), the right to liberty and security (Article 5), and the right to free elections (Article 3 of Protocol No. 1). In addition, the Court has for the first time handed down a judgment finding that Article 18 had been violated in conjunction with Article 5. Finally, this judgment is remarkable because it raises the question of what to do when Contracting Parties do not comply with ECtHR judgments (Article 46). This article provides a brief overview of the facts and the judgment of this case. Later, I will argue that the execution of this judgment presents a serious challenge and will discuss some legal arguments in that regard

Introduction to EU law: Revision guide
The real reason for the emergence of this book is that it is hard to find resources to explain complex issues of the EU Law in plain language, which makes it very difficult for those taking an interest, in particular law students. Moreover, many years of teaching experience in this subject and seeing students experience difficulties is the key driver behind this book. This book does not repeat material that is available in many textbooks that are in print. Rather, it endeavours to present every topic in plain language and concludes every chapter with a fictitious explanatory sample case. In other words, it is an introduction to the subject of EU Law, the objective of which is to explain the topic both theoretically and in its application dimension. Additionally, this book will assist students to prepare for courseworks/examinations. At the end of the book there is also a test that summarizes all the subjects contained in the book, which is appropriate to the first stage SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) examination model that will be introduced in September 2021
