PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS
Eren Keskin is a Turkish lawyer and human rights defender. For many years she has been an advocate for women, children, ethnic minorities and others who are subjected to unjust treatment by their government.
Eren has been prosecuted more than 100 times for her efforts. Amnesty International urges the Minister of Justice and other Turkish officials to assure that Eren Keskin is safe and free to practice law.
Amnesty International Group 283 in Sacramento has made a commitment to monitor and support the work of Eren Keskin.
Refugee Rights are Human Rights!
