Urgent Action Update: Ensure Safety Of Three Extradited Men (Turkey: UA 102.17)

Three Turkish men who had been arbitrarily arrested and detained in Malaysia between 2 and 4 May under anti-terrorism legislation were extradited to Turkey on 11 May. They are currently detained in Turkey and are at risk of further human rights violations, including torture and other ill-treatment.

1) TAKE ACTION
Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:

• Urging the Turkish authorities to ensure that the three men are protected from torture and other ill-treatment;
• Urging them to release them, unless there is evidence of internationally recognisable criminal acts and that any proceedings brought against them comply with international fair trial standards.
