KHRP Releases New Fact-Finding Mission Report and Briefing Paper |
KHRP is pleased to announce the publication of a new fact-finding mission report on the human rights situation in south-east Turkey and the release of a briefing paper exploring ongoing efforts to shut down political parties and prosecute politicians who question secularist, nationalist Turkish ideology.
KHRP's latest fact-finding mission report, Return to a State of Emergency? Protecting Human Rights in South-East Turkey, is based on the findings of a KHRP mission to the region in March 2008 to investigate the situation there following recent military operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Amid the increased unrest, the provinces of Şırnak, Hakkari and Siirt had been declared high-security zones and checkpoints had been set up in neighbouring areas. In the course of wide-ranging interviews, mission members noted a general consensus that the situation in these regions had deteriorated over the last two years, although it had not reached the same levels of oppression and human rights violations seen in the 1990s. The mission found that the human rights most affected by the conflict were freedom of expression, thought and association, although torture, ill-treatment and extra-judicial killings were also occurring.
