Urge Turkey's Minister of Justice to help protect Şebnem’s freedom
One message can make all the difference. For Professor Şebnem, a doctor and human rights defender from Türkiye, your message to the Turkish authorities could help protect her freedom.
Şebnem has spent her life fighting for human rights and the eradication of torture. But the Turkish government is cracking down on freedom of expression, subjecting Şebnem to baseless investigations, detentions, and prosecutions in an effort to silence her.
In 2022, she spoke out on live TV about Türkiye’s use of chemical weapons in Iraq. For that, she was detained and charged.
Now, she faces almost two years in prison if her appeal is unsuccessful. Şebnem’s only crime is standing up for what’s right – and for that, she’s being punished.
Freedom of expression is a human right, and your message could help secure Şebnem’s freedom for good. Writing to the Turkish authorities could be the action that leads to real change.
