Assaulted Turkish Baku-Ceyhan Campaigner Granted Bail

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 11/09/2004 - 11:09

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.
