also speaks of torture. they put an object in my hand and asked me what it was it was a dildo a sex toy. then they said you know what we're going to do with it they stripped me below the waist and forced me into a stress position on the floor. then they pinned me down as if they were going to use the sex toy on me at any minute. they threatened me with it constantly. they slapped me so hard in the face that one of my teeth broke. my lips were bleeding i was in such pain i could barely stand my face was beaten black and blue then they threaten me will bring your family in here to do the same to your wife your mother your father as we're doing to you will make your children watch i was

mentally and physically tortured so i would confess to a crime or denounce acquaintances. describes the abuse that he suffered. sometimes they put me in a kind of box they call it the coffin that put a sack over my head and handcuffed me you lose all sense of orientation you can't breathe properly you can't tell if you've been inside for a minute or several hours then they take you out and continue torturing you. if you don't answer their questions they give you electric shocks on your back your feet your arms and other places the longer it lasts the worse the pain. to show reports to vincent mccown's director of the organization human rights watch . and i have to assume that this is systematic we have documented individual cases which are very typical. we know about many more

cases but we have not made them public partly because people are afraid to talk about it but. a confidential report from the german foreign office in 2017 verified the human rights violations in turkey after the attempted coup quote as part of the investigations against those involved in the attempted coup allegations of torture have been made against the turkish police and judiciary according to human rights organizations there are indications that violence and abuse another longer occurring in police stations but elsewhere including public areas. ukrainian journalist and blogger yunus who has been living with his family here for 35 years however he no longer feels safe since one has been openly threatening the opposition. quite frankly it's very dangerous for me here the turkish secret service is present

here in ukraine and is able to act freely. ducted a turkish correspondent you know i'm from ukraine and. send. the correspondent was a nuisance to the erdogan system and the turkish secret service were able to kidnap him from here because the ukrainian and turkish authorities made a deal. with the governor leaves. no grounds were given for the arrest of a journalist this man had lived in ukraine for 3 years and was simply deported to turkey without reason. condition of his position on that. fears for his family along with 9 other turkish citizens his name is on the list of people who ukraine is supposed to deport he stands accused of writing for a terror organization on social media yeah. yeah so i saw it in the turkish media and immediately spotted my name on the list of everyone's enemies

most of the people whose names were also on the list have already fled to the european union. just a few like me have stayed here but i don't know how it should go on i have decided to stay here and i've already written my will i will stay here and die here yes this are still you. know. because ed is afraid of being arrested on the street by ukrainian police the family mostly stays at home in their flat. he uses basic story there are lots of turks walking around in ukraine because they don't need a visa and most of them are followers of arda want. even though they know about me through social media my website and my blog. media so certainly made ye more safe. you have a right to the news and that's why they're against me i get

a lot of threats on social media. that's why it's dangerous for me to live here i've been at home for 5 months now i don't go out on the streets anymore. kuala lumpur malaysia december 26th saying police arrest a man who fled his son in malaysia after the attempted coup in turkey. his name is julie a physics teacher his son. had hoped that his parents is met and had a chance would be safe in malaysia but malaysian security forces help to enforce the will. to. the police showed us a document from the turkish embassy saying that my father was a member of a terrorist organisation. and his passport had been an old on august 21st 2016 supporting. the family managed to film the arrest.

preacher in cincy attempted coup in the summer of 26 dating. in september 28th. according to turkish media he demanded the extradition of regime opponents which the german government denies. that the german chancellor addressed the issue of human rights abuses in turkey but would tolerate no criticism. i do not have the right to interfere with the german legal system any more than you have the right to criticize the turkish judiciary. our justice system is independent and its verdict have to be respected so you do. the chancellor reacts diplomatically with silence. as a member of the united nations turkey has signed the general declaration of human rights. dost it states that people cannot just disappear and that torture is not

allowed. me violating these very clearly defined human rights violations for us to talk about a generalised demonstration in the chancery for freedom of the press is a school should out by german place and one is clearly placed. while visiting berlin so-called plane spotters discovered this jet. thursday 27th of september 28th 10 to 11 am t.c. k l e challenges 6 o 5 descending towards berlin tagle this is no ordinary aircraft. christian are on the morning of march 29th 2018 challenger t.c.k. el landed in the capital of kosovo. just a few minutes beforehand the surveillance camera filmed an abduction. a police car stops the turkish carabiner family's car on

ankara. yeah they are to he was lying on the floor the whole flight and apparently was still unconscious when he arrived in turkey. the challenger t.c.k. ali is registered with the tourism company in ankara. the company address is directly next to the residential campus of the turkish secret service the mit. oh god larry in those cited in the 1st 24 to 48 hours the lawyers had no contact with our men goes 1st we didn't believe that our men had already been deported to turkey because we had no reliable source of information though we didn't want to believe that the course of our authority supported this illegal action. kosovo is dependent on investments from turkey one example the firm lean back which

operates the airport of prishtina is owned by a turkish businessman with close links to. this is where the kidnapping plane took off the opposition parliamentarian jealous chairs the parliamentary investigations committee he's convinced that kosovar authorities assisted the regime with the kidnapping. i just say the documents point towards the kidnappings being the greatest violation of the sovereignty of kosovo since our declaration of independence. and kosovo own authorities are responsible for this violation. of astarte is an accessory to a crime of the turkish state during his visit to pristina the turkish foreign minister demanded that costs about should extradite more teachers who work in the girl in schools. said there's

these terrorists are fired on people from military helicopters. they could do the same things in kosovo. that's why we must not allow these terrorists to penetrate because of our authorities by abusing their educational institutions of course we don't want our neighbor across the border harbor these rebels. is that they. at least the relatives of the abducted know with their men are incarcerated. here in this a livery prison in istanbul. on the streets of istanbul there is a show of hatred for those who allegedly attempted the coup followers of the preacher for to look in here hanged in effigy thousands of his followers assiduous spent years behind bars false testimonies by the kidnapped a supposed to help our witnesses report they wanted me to betray my friends they

used force to try to make me cooperate work for the state gather information for us and then we'll give you back your freedom it was their goal to use me as a spy within the movement as a witness i was supposed to confirm made up crimes and trials i was tortured so i would denounce acquaintances. because they appeared to agree to the offer. was set free they were then able to fly. lawyer and press can was present trials against the alleged coup rebels she confirms that anonymous witnesses were used in court. what do you mean a occupy anonymous witnesses were used to strengthen the court's position because there is hardly any evidence. that's why the courts use this method yet it's

a 90 dimmock radek procedure which does not exist in a country operating under the rule of law you know my own. videos and documents verify that the turkey secret service a political opponents abroad witnesses report kidnappings from public streets that end in secret prisons they talk of torture and fake witness accounts. turkey is an important partner for the german government what do they say about the serious allegations in their reply to an inquiry from the left party about abductions perpetrated by the turkey secret service there is no mention of kidnapping and torture quote in the vast majority of cases as far as the german federal government is aware the full steep or taishan are official mischa's of the respective host countries. although they were initiated by turkey they were not independently carried out by ticky on foreign territory.

mist and i thought that the given the severity of these cases i do not have the impression that the german government is publicly or vehemently standing up for these people to stop such things from happening. germany's reluctance to seek clarification on the matter leaves opponents of the a woman at the ministry of his regime wherever they live. costs play all sorts of. sun.
