- W3157996424 abstract "In June 1881, a criminal trial was held on the grounds of the Yıldız Palace, Sultan Abdülhamid II’s residence that served as the center of Ottoman government during his long reign from 1876 to 1909. The defendants were charged with conspiring to murder Sultan Abdülaziz (r. 1861–76), who had died five years earlier under suspicious circumstances after being deposed in a coup. Sultan Abdülaziz’s nephew, Murad V, was enthroned in his place but removed a few months later due to deteriorating mental health, and replaced by his brother Abdülhamid. The trial of the alleged conspirators, and more generally, the socio-legal culture in which it occurred, are the subject of Ottoman Rule of Law and the Modern Political Trial: The Yıldız Case. In addition to the sensational nature of the crime, the identity of the defendants made the Yıldız trial an international political spectacle. Among the high-ranking officials charged in the case was Ahmed Ṣefik Midhat Pasha (1822–84), a towering figure of the nineteenth-century period of reforms known collectively as the Tanzimat in the Ottoman Empire. Ironically, Midhat Pasha was also the architect of the agreement with then prince Abdülhamid, who pledged to ratify the constitution in return for the support of Midhat Pasha and his fellow reformers. The plan seemed to work: the newly minted sultan announced the adoption of a constitution in December 1876, and elections for the first Ottoman parliament took place soon after. But the constitution was barely a year old when the sultan suspended it under pretext of war with Russia (1877–78). Sultan Abdülhamid’s authoritarianism grew along with his distrust of Midhat Pasha, whom he kept in sight and far from power. In 1881, tensions came to a head with Midhat Pasha’s arrest and indictment on charges of conspiracy to murder Abdülaziz, five years after the fact, and with inconclusive evidence that a crime had occurred at all. The trial found Midhat Pasha and his alleged co-conspirators guilty as charged and they were sentenced to death—a punishment commuted to life imprisonment by the Sultan." @default.
