Lad mig give et par eksempler: Vilkårlige arrestationer, systemkritikere, der pludselig forsvinder, fanger, der dør i politisk varetægt, love, der sætter almindelige menneskers personlige rettigheder ud af kraft i op til 3 år, 6.000 kurdere myrdet alene i 1997, samvittighedsfanger som det tidligere parlamentsmedlem Leyla Zana, der uden bevis blev idømt 15 års fængsel.
Let me give a few examples: arbitrary arrests, critics of the system who suddenly disappear, prisoners dying in political detention, laws which set aside the personal rights of ordinary people for up to three years, 6000 Kurds murdered in 1997 alone, prisoners of conscience like former Member of Parliament Leyla Zana, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison without evidence.
