FAIR referred twice in Summary of Stakeholders’ UPR Submissions

The United Nations Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Review Working Group published a summary report of stakeholder reports and civil society contributions submitted prior to Turkey’s 4th cycle review on 22 January 2025.

Paragraphs 29 and 66 of the summary report are devoted to FAIR’s findings:

29. FAIR stated that there was little transparency regarding the number of people detained
without due process, with the government often labelling such cases as matters of national
security, further obscuring the statistics.

66. FAIR recommended that Türkiye remove all barriers to the right to peaceful assembly
and drop existing charges against peaceful protesters.
