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.

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.
