BDS TURKEY: WE WİLL NOT ABANDON THE CASE OF ARRESTED VOLUNTEER HARUN TURGAN
Harun Turgan, who is an active participant in the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, one of the founding members and volunteers of BDS Turkey, and the editor of Intifada Publications, was arrested by Turkish police during a commemoration of the life of Ibrahim Kaypakkaya on 21st May 2017. He was detained 3 days later; now, his lawyers have been told that his trial will not take place before October.
Harun Turgan is a member of the Palestine solidarity movement and a friend of the Arab peoples. His unlawful and violent detention for participation in a peaceful political gathering reminds us of the Israeli crimes which Palestinians know all too well.
On behalf of BDS Turkey, we call upon all friends of Palestine around the world to show their solidarity to Harun, who has now been imprisoned for one months. We urge you to write to Harun and send letters and postcards, as well as to advocate for the immediate end of his unjust detention.
