******URGENT LETTER FROM TURKISH SISTER***** LET US ALL BE TURKISH TODAY AND EVERY DAY UNTIL TURKEY KNOWS FREEDOM! PLEASE SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE! VIA Gozde Ozgen Dear All, Now , I am writing this email and I am not quite sure if we will have internet connection in Turkey tomorrow. Every morning I wake up feeling sick . My stomach hurts when I watch the news. I feel like living in a fantastic horror movie. Erdoğan government has long been violating our basic human rights. He has created a police-state, controlled the media, violated our reproductive rights... He imprisoned opposing voices and kept behind bars without a proper trial. He threatens, punishes and silences every opposing voice. Our right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion is violated through religious fascism. Even, Central Council of Turkish Medical Association felt the need to publish a press release on his mental state. (ttb.org.tr/index.php/Haberler/basbakan-4447.html ) Now, he is almost about to declare a war to Syria just to create conflict and benefit the unrest. You should all know that “Turkey is not under threat from Syria. Turkey is under threat by the very same terrorists, that Erdogan imported there in the first place, as they are now being chased out of Syria.” (friendsofsyria.co/2014/03/23/nato-will-only-intervene-if-syria-attacks-turkey/) Many journalists have been attacked since Gezi protests. He has created his own media. We as citizens are trying to create our own news resources but he does not want it either. The High Council for Telecommunications (TIB) blocked YouTube in Turkey today, applying a decision adopted by the authorities earlier in the day “as a preventive measure” without referring to the courts. (Reporters without Borders, en.rsf.org/turkey-youtube-blocked-as-cyber-27-03-2014,46050.html ) The government had blocked access to the social media network late March 21, hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vowed “to wipe out Twitter,” sparking global outcry. (hurriyetdailynews/ankara-court-grants-stay-of-execution-for-governments-twitter-ban.aspx?pageID=238&nID=64121&NewsCatID=339 ) We need your support. Be our voice . because they are trying to silence us. Spread the word . because it could have been you. Act now! In solidarity ... Gözde Özgen Please feel free to contact me at gozgen@gmail . and you have full rights to share/publish/use this letter.
