Today I asked Secretary Kerry to deny Turkey’s extradition request for Muhammed Fethullah Gülen on grounds including that Gülen cannot receive a fair atrial in Turkey. See, e.g., the Times article, Turkey Widens Purge as Crackdown Continues.
The article contains thisastonishing paragraph:
In Brussels on Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry and the European Union’s top diplomat, Federica Mogherini, urged Turkey — a member of NATO and a candidate for membership in the European Union — to show restraint.
“Obviously, NATO also has a requirement with respect to democracy, and NATO will indeed measure very carefully what is happening,” Mr. Kerry said.
Turkey is no longer a democracy. Turkish Kurds deserve independence from Erdoğan’s dictatorship, and Syrian Kurds deserve protection from his bombardments.
Send a request to Kerry to deny the extradition here: The Office of Public Engagement. Please do.
