Contents Summary

Relatives of those who have disappeared are gathering in a square in Istanbul to demand that the Turkish government release their loved ones. The Government denies knowing anything about their whereabouts. Turkish Human Rights activist and lawyer, Eren Keskin, meets with a family whose son had been found dead, his body recovered. Eren Keskin, who works on their case, was also imprisoned for writing articles on the political situation in Turkey, particularly those referring to the relationship between Turkish authorities and the Kurdish Worker’s Party (PKK). She gives an interview in which she recounts her own time in prison and talks about the struggle to enforce human rights in Turkey.
