Fresh allegations about mistreatment of Kurds in Turkey
|
[ARABNEWS] The mistreatment of Kurds in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
is under the spotlight again following allegations of torture and food poisoning.Three politicians from the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) who were recently arrested said they were hospitalized with food poisoning during their detention, while Amnesia Amnesty International has demanded the government investigate allegations that two Kurds were thrown out of a military helicopter.
The government accuses the HDP of ties to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and thousands of its members have been prosecuted for the same reason, including its leaders. The HDP denies such links. The PKK is designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
and US.
The HDP politicians, including Ayhan Bilgen who is mayor of Van province, fell ill after eating food served at Ankara police headquarters.
Bilgen was not immediately taken to hospital, nor was he allowed to talk to his legal team until after HDP politicians had talked with government officials to have him hospitalized.
The trio are under arrest as part of a probe into violent mostly peaceful protests that took place in Kobane in 2014. Their detention period was extended on Monday by another four days.
Amnesia Amnesty International has urged the government to investigate allegations that two Kurds, aged 55 and 50, were thrown from a military helicopter in Van. The rights group voiced its concerns about the "allegations of torture and mistreatment" which it said were unacceptable under international human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
law and standards that Turkey was obliged to comply with.
