🚨 URGENT ACTION: FEAR OF REFOULEMENT IN KENYA
Amnesty International is deeply concerned that Mustafa Güngör who was arrested with his wife Zeliha, daughters Seniha Betül and Zeynep, and his in-laws Zümrüt and Salim is at serious risk of refoulement to Türkiye, where he could be subjected to arbitrary detention, torture, or ill-treatment. We have reliably learnt the Turkiye authorities sought his arrest through a Mutual Legal Assistance request to office of the Attorney General. Kenya has an obligation under international law not to return anyone to a country where they face persecution or harm. We call on the @DCI_Kenya and both authorities to: ✅ Respect the legal principle of non-refoulement ✅ Ensure due process and protection for family ✅ Allow continued access to legal representation and UNHCR and @Kenyajudiciary
Our officers are currently at the DCI Upper Hill with family lawyers. #StopRefoulement #HumanRights #Kenya #Türkiye
Yesterday morning, 7 Turkish asylum seekers namely Mustafa Genç, Abdullah Genç, Hüseyin Yeşilsu, Necdet Seyitoğlu, Öztürk Uzun, Alparslan Taşçı and Saadet Taşçı were abducted in Nairobi by unknown masked gunmen. Three of the abductees have since been released, while 4 remain unaccounted for.
The @LawSocietyofKe condemns the heinous violation of human rights and calls for immediate investigations to identify the perpetrators and locate the 4 missing persons. We note that Kenya has obligations under international law to protect the rights of all persons resident in Kenya. We further note that the Mutual Legal Assistance Act is clear that Kenya will not provide legal assistance to any foreign operatives with respect to matters of a political nature. The identification, tracking, enforced disappearance and seizure of property of the 7 individuals is, therefore, illegal in toto and inconsistent with Kenya's commitment to uphold the rule of law.
Such acts of contempt against our sovereignty and constitutionalism cannot be condoned. We demand that the @DCI_Kenya and @IG_NPS act swiftly and decisively in getting to the bottom of this matter.

The 4 missing Turkish nationals were living in Nairobi under UN protection. Their families and friends fear they could be forcefully sent back to Turkey as early as tonight. Their lawyer has written to airlines and @CAA_Kenya to try and prevent their removal from Kenya.
URGENT: We call on authorities to take immediate action to STOP the abductions in #Kenya. 7 citizens associated with the Hizmet Movement have been targeted, with 4 STILL MISSING. The Long arms of the Turkish government at work once again abducting innocent people! #Türkiye

Asker ve polis gücünün deprem bölgesine kaydırılmama sebebinin Gezi Sürecinde başlayan toplumsal olay paranoyası olduğunu hepimiz biliyoruz. Ola ki büyük illerde tepki oluşur korkusu. Merak etme canlar enkaz altıdayken kimse bunu düşünmez/yapmaz. Gönder askeri, polisi.
Ülke genelinde 704 gözaltı. Suçları KHK’lılara maddi yardımda bulunmak. Altı yıldır açlıktan ölmedik. Ağaç kökü yer faşizme biat etmeyiz.
İnsanlık onuru faşizmi yenecek
Dünya görüşü, dini, mezhebi, ırkı nedir sormadan, ayırmadan işittiğim, ulaşabildiğim insanlara kendi koşullarımda (pandemi süreci) çok yardım ettim.Bunun reklamını da yapmam. Madem suç: Mağdur insanlara, çocuklara yardım ettiğimi burada apaçık ifade ederek kendimi ihbar ediyorum!
704 kişi gözaltına alınmış, suçları cezaevinde bulunanların çocuklarına ve KHK’lı olduğu için iş bulamayan ailelere maddi yardımda bulunmakmış. Peki bu ailelere yardım gitmese nasıl yaşayacaklar? Hırsızlık mı yapsınlar siz gibi? Yardımı yasakladıysanız işlerini geri verin.
704 people were detained in more than 50 cities across #Turkey for providing humanitarian aid to the purged people and their families. We urge international human rights community to take immediate action to end Turkey’s unlawful practices.
