{"id":"TUR-044","notes":"Multiple simultaneous dissolution lawsuits as attrition tactic; 'terrorism education' framing for LGBTI+ programming illustrates NF-11 (Foreign Mercenary / Identity Threat) applied to domestic community center","country":"Turkey","sources":[{"url":null,"citation":"TUSEV CSO Monitoring Matrix Turkey 2022-2023; court records"}],"summary":"Two dissolution lawsuits were filed against the Tarlabaşı Community Center in 2022, citing the organization's work with LGBTI+ communities and its 'terrorism-related education' as grounds for closure. The organization had previously faced a closure lawsuit filed in 2021 (which continued active). By 2022-2023, the center was managing three simultaneous dissolution cases — each requiring legal representation, documentation, and court appearances. Twelve hearings were held in 2022-2023 alone. One lawsuit was ultimately dismissed in 2024. The community center continued operations throughout the proceedings but with significantly constrained capacity due to legal burden.","tactics":[{"code":"TC-47","role":"primary","label":"Dismantlement through Professional Destruction","needs_review":false},{"code":"TC-40","role":"secondary","label":"CSO Legitimacy and Mandate Attack","needs_review":false}],"version":1,"channels":["Courts","Prosecution"],"entities":[{"id":1135,"name":"Public Prosecutors","role":"actor","entity_type":"Judiciary"},{"id":1136,"name":"Tarlabasi Community Center (Insan Haklari ve Dayanisma Dernegi / IHD Tarlabasi)","role":"target","entity_type":"CSO"}],"date_text":"01/03/2022","created_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","escalation":4,"harm_track":"Track 1 — Organisational Integrity","narratives":[{"code":"NF-11","role":"primary","label":"Foreign Mercenary / Identity Threat","needs_review":false},{"code":"NF-06","role":"secondary","label":"Destabilization Agent","needs_review":false}],"report_ids":[],"signal_ids":[],"updated_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","occurred_on":"2022-03-01","campaign_ids":["TUR-CAMP-006"],"enabler_type":"","response_ids":[],"trigger_type":"TR-08: Proactive / Ambient","campaign_phase":"Phase 3: Enforcement Intensification","civic_response":"Bar association support; civil society solidarity; international LGBTI+ rights organizations documented case; organization continued operations; one lawsuit dismissed 2024","date_precision":"day","enabler_status":"","campaigns_served":[],"consequence_category":"Organisational Dissolution Threat; Judicial Harassment; Multiple Simultaneous Proceedings","institutional_consequence":"Three simultaneous dissolution lawsuits; 12 court hearings 2022-2023; organizational capacity severely constrained by legal proceedings; precedent that LGBTI+ community organizations can be targeted for dissolution on 'terrorism education' grounds"}
