Human Rights Group Protest Against Turkish Atrocities To Kurdish Villagers

 Mistreatment of Kurdish villagers are brought human rights activist to the streets of Turkey. There has also been news over torture and food poisoning.

These claims have been made by three pro- Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) politicians. Members of Amnesty International meanwhile are demanding government investigate the circumstances in which two Kurds were thrown off a military helicopter.

But the government has accused the HDP of having ties with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and that 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 and US.

The news has come into being since the imprisonment of the HDP politicians, including Ayhan Bilgen who is mayor of Van province. They all fell sick after consuming food at the Ankara police headquarters.

Both Kurds who are said to have fallen from the helicopter were aged 55 and 50. The rights group voiced its concerns about the “allegations of torture and mistreatment” which it said were unacceptable under international human rights law and standards that Turkey was obliged to comply with. The men who were arrested on September 11, this year were kept into captivity as part of an operation against PKK. There has been proof of police brutality in captivity too.

It is being said that Kurdish inhabitants are being caught in the crossfire with the government officials. While the PKK has been designated as a terrorist outfit, it has led to pulling in literally all innocent Kurdish villagers into the net of suspicion.

Amnesty International’s Turkey campaigner, Milena Buyum has said that, “Turkey is bound by the UN Convention Against Torture and the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture, both of which it is a party to. The Committee for the Prevention of Torture of the Council of Europe is tasked with monitoring places of detention in member states and can ask questions regarding the cases of alleged torture and other ill-treatment. As Amnesty International, we will continue monitoring the developments in this shocking case.”

It has also been stated that those detained are not given the right to an attorney of allowed to speak to family. Such forced measures amount to complete violation of human rights. There is already increased concern over detention conditions due to a fear around the pandemic led virus spread.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
