Arrest for Border Breach in Armenia
Arrest for Border Violation in Armenia
Kurdish Political Activist and Social Anthropologist Rıdvan Doğan Arrested in Armenia!
Kurdish political activist and social anthropologist Rıdvan Doğan, who had to leave the country due to the heavy political climate in Turkey, was arrested in Armenia and sent to prison on the grounds that he violated the border.
As rights defenders who had to live in exile in Europe, we find it difficult to make sense of Armenia's policies towards Kurdish refugees. We feel the pain of the great tragedy that the oppressed Armenian people experienced in the last century, in the deepest way, and we say that the side of the oppressed is on the side of the oppressed. As human rights defenders, we appeal to the authorities of Armenia:
To political Kurdish refugees Put an end to these ridiculous policies and release Mr. Doğan immediately!
