Amnesty urges Canadian PM to raise Turkey rights crackdown on visit
Original: Amnesty urges Canadian PM to raise Turkey’s human rights crackdown during visit
Amnesty International is calling on Canada's Prime Minister to raise Turkey's human rights crackdown directly during his visit, urging him to press Turkish officials on widespread repression, including arrests of journalists, academics and government critics. The appeal comes ahead of the trip and puts pressure on Ottawa to make human rights a central topic of talks with Ankara rather than focusing only on trade and security.
Why now: The Canadian Prime Minister's visit to Turkey has created a timely opportunity for human rights advocates to push the issue onto the diplomatic agenda.
