Turkey’s mixed record on rights
Saturday, June 22, 2013
The news from Turkey suggests that the country may be at a delicate precipice in its democratic development. Just a month ago I was in Ankara, consulting with the Ministry of Justice’s Justice Academy, the institution that trains Turkish judges and prosecutors. A new Human Rights Center was established at the Academy last August and the question was how to enable this center to be more than just an idea on paper. I interviewed a dozen people at the Academy, the head of the Human Rights Department at the Ministry of Justice, and some law school professors who teach human rights law.

I was in London working on a novel a few weeks ago when I heard from a friend in Istanbul that he was on his way to Gezi Park. “To guard the sycamores,” he said, laughter in his voice. “We will camp by the trees and make sure the bulldozers don’t hurt them.”

Erdogan cracks down
Vicious police tactics have reclaimed Taksim Square and other places of protest, but at a high cost to Turkey’s reputation
