[Update: Ferhat has now been granted bail... click here for details...]

The prominent human rights defender detained and allegedly tortured in Turkey following his work to mitigate the impacts of the controversial Baku-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline has indicated that he will commence a 'death fast ' hunger strike on 12 May 2004 if his application for release is not accepted. Human rights and environmental groups are calling on the international community to intervene urgently to guarantee the safety of the campaigner.

Ferhat Kaya, one of the main activists working on the Turkish part of the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline, has been badly assaulted and detained by Turkish police for more than two weeks.

Thank you to everyone who wrote letters on Ferhat's behalf. The Turkish authorities have now agreed to grant him bail.

Unfortunately, it has been set at £2000, much higher than we expected and hard for us to raise alone. In view of the urgency of the situation, we are having to ask for assistance from you. If anyone can help us with a financial donation to get our colleague released, it would be a greatly appreciated act of solidarity.

Please send cheques for whatever you can (payable to the Ilisu Dam Campaign) to 14 Chelsea Gardens, Chelsea Bridge Road, London, SW1W 8RG.

"People need the G8 like a fish needs a bicycle"

On the 4th of February 2002 there will be protests at petrol stations around the world making a clear connection between the proposed Iraq war and our addiction to fossil fuels. There are already 160 demonstrations planned for the US alone and the number grows daily.
