In recent years, human rights violations have increasingly been reported in Turkey. Various international bodies and courts have confirmed this, sometimes even in very sharp terms. That is why we have taken the initiative to set up a “Turkey Tribunal.”

Eric Sottas – Switzerland

Report on torture*

  • 1980-1985: Advisor to the Secretary-General UNCTAD

  • 1995-2010: Secretary General of the World Organisation
    Against Torture

  • 1986: French prize for human rights

* The torture report will be made with the support of Prof. Dr. Johan Vande Lanotte (University of Ghent)

Question 1
Can we see a pattern in the facts underlying the (torture) testimonies? What groups are targeted and why? What is the motivation, and what is the highest level of state involvement?
 
Question 2
Do the testimonies about torture allow us to conclude that there is a systematic and organized use of torture in Turkey ?
