As Turkey continues to reel from the impact of last month’s earthquake, countries around the world continue to provide support to the Turkish people.

While this is happening, the people of Turkey face another struggle that merits our support: mass arbitrary detentions and other crimes against humanity perpetrated by the increasingly authoritarian Recep Tayyip Erdogan regime.

These crimes have many victims. Erdogan’s repression of Kurds has been widely documented. Added to that is those who follow the teachings of Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen. They have faced discrimination for many years.
