The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Turkey tortured or otherwise mistreated sixteen lawyers who were alleged to be working for Kurdish clients and failed to investigate their claims of abuse. The men were arrested a decade ago after a confession from a Kurdistan Workers Party member who said the lawyers had aided the separatist group. The government accused the lawyers of being members of the group, which Turkey and the U.S. deem terrorists. The lawyers said they were targeted for representing clients before the State Security Court and working as human rights advocates. (Ex le "Los Angeles Times", 14 novembre 2003, p. A7) [I'm convinced that it would be very dangerous to admit any muslim country into the European Union. From what I have read, muslim immigrants have already become a rather serious social problem in the European Union--especially in Scandinavia and Holland. [If twenty percent of the U.S. population were muslim, we'd be in some really deep shit. We would have serious religious conflicts between them and many Christians, especially Evangelical Christians, who have called Mohammed a pedophile. And gay rights would be under a heavier threat in the United States than they are now. --hkJ] --- Le Tribunal Europee pro Derectos Human ha concludite que Turquia ha torturate o maltractate de altere manieras dece-sex advocatos --le quales, on allegava, representava clientes kurde--e que refusava investigar le allegationes de abuso.
