Zalimane Bir İdam Hükmü

This book, titled "A Tyrannical Death Sentence" (Zalimane Bir İdam Hükmü), presents the historical memoirs and observations of author Ebubekir Hâzım Tepeyran, who served in high-level state positions. Published by Holistence Publications in July 2022 (E-ISBN: 978-625-8048-09-4), the work focuses particularly on the Turkish National Struggle period. Tepeyran narrates his own arrest while serving as the Governor of Bursa for defending the Kuva-yı Milliye (National Forces) movement and his subsequent trial in the "Nemrut" military courts, while also critically describing a "source of calamities" era in which the Sultan and the government inflicted greater cruelty on their own people than the foreign enemies during the occupation of Istanbul, even sending their own subjects to prisons in enemy territory. The work offers a first-hand, striking account of the political and legal chaos, occupation, and persecution experienced during that critical time.
