IRAN: Amin Ghazaei, writer and student leader detained; fears of ill-treatment and health concerns

Writers in Prison Committee

According to media reports Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan made an important statement on Sunday, February 10th, 2008 in Cologne in the course of his visit to Germany: "Assimilation is a crime against humanity."

It can be assumed he was - rightfully and clear-sightedly - talking about forced assimilation.

Thus we may now expect the imminent and radical change of Turkish politics in regard to the country's Kurdish minority with great anticipation and well-founded hope!
