Last week, the @TLHumanRights held a hearing on the worsening human rights situation in Turkey.

The stories of Ibrahim Gungor, Ozlem Duzenli, Hatice Dogru, Kamil Acar, Engin Kara, and Adil Kesim — all unjustly imprisoned despite severe illness, disability, or vulnerability — are just a few examples of the ongoing abuses.

Families continue to suffer while the government punishes peaceful dissent with harsh prison conditions.

In a brazen act of retaliation, Turkish authorities have arrested Sueda Gungor (@suedarlan) — the brave daughter of Ibrahim Gungor — immediately after his case was brought before the (@TLHumanRights) Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission’s recent hearing on human rights abuses in Turkey.

Ibrahim Gungor, 71, a father of four known for his honesty and service, suffers from advanced-stage Alzheimer’s. He cannot recognize his daughter, uses a catheter, and cannot care for himself — yet Turkey has declared him “fit for prison.” His only crime: peacefully attending religious study groups and helping students.

Sueda campaigned tirelessly to free her father and get him proper medical care. Now, for daring to speak up, she has been imprisoned too.

Instead of addressing Ibrahim Gungor’s dire health needs, the Turkish government has shamelessly punished his daughter for her courage. This latest arrest is yet another stark example of how the regime silences families, punishes human rights defenders, and tramples basic freedoms with impunity.

759 Babies and Children Behind Bars in Turkey

Right now, 759 babies and children are growing up in Turkish prisons, many alongside their mothers who are incarcerated under politically motivated charges. These children — some newborns — are being denied a normal childhood, access to proper healthcare, education, and freedom.

No child belongs behind bars. This is a direct result of mass arrests, abuse of anti-terror laws, and the criminalization of dissent in Turkey.

[Peace Islands PA @PeaceIslandsPA]

We had the incredible opportunity to travel across Andalusia with nearly 30 amazing participants on an interfaith exploration organized in partnership with the National Council of Synagogues and Peace Islands Institute PA, and @PeaceIslandsNY. This unforgettable journey was filled with rich conversations, deep learning, and shared moments of reflection and discovery.

Our daily learning sessions enriched the experience even further, offering powerful insights into history, faith, and culture.

This journey was more than a trip. It was a living dialogue of the senses and spirits. We laughed, we learned, we prayed, and we celebrated the beauty of our shared humanity.

Thank you to the Milstein Center for Interreligious Dialogue for their generous support of this meaningful journey.
