 Şimşek and Others v. Turkey, ECtHR, Judgment of 26 July 2005, paras. 110-112. See also Güleç v. Turkey, ECtHR, Judgment of 27 July 1998, para. 71: ”The gendarmes used a very powerful weapon because they apparently did not have truncheons, riot shields, water cannon, rubber bullets or tear gas. The lack of such equipment is all the more incomprehensible and unacceptable because the province of Şırnak, as the Government pointed out, is in a region in which a state of emergency has been declared, where at the material time disorder could have been expected.
