“We are not giving up the Istanbul Convention. It isn’t over for us” reads the slogan. Thousands of women protest Turkey’s withdrawal from the Convention today. Erdogan’s decision will not end their fight for equality and an end to gender based violence in all its forms

The Turkish government has held writer & novelist Ahmet Altan in detention for 1500 days without a shred of evidence he has committed any crime other than express critical opinions. He has been an outspoken critic of Turkey’s history of military coups & violence. #FreeAhmetAltan

Dismissed maths teacher Zehra Türkmen goes to prison as top court swiftly upholds her “terror“ conviction. Could this swift decision be a reprisal against her for bravely standing up for husband Gökhan when he spoke about being disappeared & tortured? …

In the trial of 11 human rights defenders, Amnesty Turkey honorary chair Taner Kılıç gets convicted of terror org membership (6yrs 3m), Özlem Dalkıran, İdil Eser, Günal Kurşun aiding terror org and 1 yr 13m (sic). No evidence, a sham process from start to finish. Appeal to come

At the Gezi hearing, everyone lines up to perform their roles in a show trial that screams “there is no evidence of any crime, no one believes the lie”. And yet Osman Kavala is still in detention after 4.5 yrs. Acquit them all, free Kavala #OsmanKavalaya Özgürlük

Servet Turgut'un kayalıktan düştüğü iddiası ikna edici değil. Helikoptere sağlıklı bir şekilde bindirildiğini gören tanıklar var. Turgut gözaltında aldığı yaralar nedeniyle öldü. Soruşturma yapmamak daha fazla ihlal için yeşil ışık demektir
