Welcome
Human Rights Commissioner Löning on the demonstrations in Turkey
Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy Markus Löning issued the following statement today (1 June) on the demonstrations in Turkey:
I am following the developments in Istanbul and other cities in Turkey with concern. In a democracy, freedom of expression and assembly are central and fundamental rights which must be upheld and protected. Level-headedness and de-escalation on all sides are what is needed now.
