Brieftext
sowie Fax/Mailadressen:

Dringender Aufruf an Innenminister, Gouverneur und Generalstaatsanwalt, das skandalöse Rechtsverfahren gegen die LGBT-Gruppe "Schwarz-Rosa-Dreieck" aus Izmir zu stoppen.
(bis 28. April 2010 Faxen / Mailen - danke).

Dear Prosecutor / Governor / Minister

I am concerned to learn that the LGBT rights association, Black Pink Triangle Association based in İzmir, is being taken to court.

Amnesty International opposes the closure case against Black Pink Triangle, which forms part of a pattern of judicial harassment targeting LGBT associations. The closure of Black Pink Triangle on such grounds would violate the right of all persons to freedom of association and expression and non-discrimination and runs contrary to Turkey’s obligations under international human rights law and the European Convention on Human Rights.

With this letter I would like to, politly, remind you of your duty to ensure the respect and protection of the rights of all persons to freedom of association, without discrimination, including on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity.

I therefore urge you to ensure that notions of public order, public morality, public health and public security are not enforced in such a way as to restrict any exercise of the rights to peaceful association solely on the basis that the association affirms diverse sexual orientations or gender identities.

Yours sincerly
