Safeguard Human Rights in Turkey
Almost 30 people ate Turkish food, viewed a Turkish refugee art exhibit and heard a speaker tell about conditions for mothers and children in jail in Turkey. Most importantly, the group spent time writing to Turkish officials, urging them to improve conditions and find alternatives to incarceration.
Even if you did not attend, you can participate in this important human rights letter writing. The letter is composed, you just have to sign it and send it.

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!
