Kurdish Human Rights Project opens applications for 2007 Senior Fellowship |
As part of its International Fellowship Programme, Kurdish Human
Rights Project is opening applications for its 2007 Senior Fellowship.
The fellowship is designated for exceptional advocates from Turkey,
Iraq, Iran, Syria, or countries of the former Soviet Union with a
significant Kurdish population, who have shown interest in working with
international human rights mechanisms. Bringing the advocate to work in
KHRP's London Headquarters for 4-6 months, the Programme facilitates an
exchange of legal and professional expertise while promoting cultural
understanding between advocates within the regions and internationally.
The fellowship reflects KHRP's deep commitment to fostering
sustainability and enhancing the development of a genuine civil
society, empowering local advocates to bring about lasting change in
the human rights climate across the Kurdish Regions.

The Upcoming Elections in Turkey: KHRP Publishes Key Briefing Paper |
As the parliamentary elections in Turkey approach, KHRP has
published a key briefing paper on the election’s potential impact on
political representation for Kurdish people. The paper draws attention
to the difficulties still faced by Kurds in Turkey in achieving the
free, fair and genuine expression of their choice of political
representatives.
The Turkish government persists in its
imposition of a 10 per cent national electoral threshold, despite
recommendations from the European Court of Human Rights that it should
be lowered. Further, the recent move by the Turkish government to
declare certain provinces in the Kurdish regions a High Security Zone
has led to restrictions on the activities of pro-Kurdish parties based
there. This has further complicated the work of campaigners who already
struggle to make themselves known to Kurdish constituents, given that
it is illegal to use the Kurdish language in electioneering.
