Dear friends,
Taner Kiliç, the Chair of Amnesty International Turkey, was detained in Turkey on June 6th and wrongly accused of membership in the “Fethullah Gülen Terror Organization”, which the authorities blame for last year’s attempted coup. He is being held in detention pending trial.
The accusations against Taner are entirely unfounded. Taner Kiliç is a longstanding human rights lawyer – someone who has worked tirelessly to defend the rights of others. Now Amnesty activists around the world are coming together to defend his rights.
The detention of Taner Kiliç is further proof of just how widespread and arbitrary Turkey’s post-coup crackdown has become. We have loudly spoken out against this crackdown on human rights in Turkey. But we urgently need your help to continue this struggle.
Please donate to Amnesty today, so that we can continue to fight for the rights of those like Taner, and so we can carry on fighting injustice, whenever and wherever we find it.
Thank you,
Margaret Huang
Executive Director
