TURKEY: Istanbul 10 RELEASED - GOOD NEWS!

Amnesty International, Canada, October 26, 2017

114 days after they were arrested and jailed on completely baseless charges – simply for defending human rights in Turkey – all 10 of the Istanbul10, including Amnesty Turkey’s director, Idil Eser, are now released from prison and reunited with their friends and family! 

When Amnesty Turkey's Chair, Taner Kilic, and then Idil and nine other human rights defenders were detained and jailed this summer, our movement mobilized and stood up for our imprisoned colleagues and friends.
