Those who are the target It is alleged that he was involved in the actions of the US-based Sunni cleric Fethullah Glen. The Turkish government considers the Glen movement a terrorist organization responsible for the July 2016 military coup attempt in Turkey.

The abduction, forcible destruction and illegal export of Orhan Nand from Kyrgyzstan to Turkey demonstrates Ankara’s disrespect for the rule of law in general and the most basic norms of international law, said Hugh Williamson, director of Europe and Central Asia at Human Rights Watch. The bread, which is a bilateral Turkish-Kyrgyz citizen and has been abducted in Kyrgyzstan for weeks to be smuggled out of the country only by Turkish intelligence, shows that the Kyrgyz government is either unwilling or unable to stand up to Ankara or is directly involved. with them.

July 5, 2021 President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan was announced Turkey’s intelligence services brought bread to Turkey and brought it to justice, showing video handcuffed in front of Turkish flags. Nand, who has been missing in Bishkek since May 31, was abducted from his apparently abandoned car. It remained unaccounted for until Erdan’s announcement. The allegations that Nands’s wife was detained at the Turkish embassy in Bishkek for weeks after her abduction have not been officially confirmed by either Kyrgyz or Turkish authorities.

On July 6, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov entered interview will demand the government to return to Kyrgyzstan immediately. He said there had been three attempts to hijack bread since 2016, most recently prevented by the Kyrgyz National Security Committee in early 2021. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan, July 6 was presented Turkish Ambassador Ahmet Sadk Doğan, a diplomatic note asking Turkey to return to Kyrgyzstan and not to be mistreated in prison in accordance with international law. Although no official response was given, Ambassador Doğan was quoted media stating that nand a Citizen of Turkey.

Civil society groups and Others The Kyrgyz government has expressed concern over the forcible transfer of bread to Turkey failed to thoroughly investigate the disappearance. The case raises questions about the impartiality of Kyrgyzstan’s law enforcement agencies, specifically the allegations made by the State Committee for National Security. Turkish media It was the Kyrgyz authorities common to disappear by force.

It was complicated news On June 16, the State Committee was investigating his Kyrgyz citizenship, not the theft of nands. Although on June 1, President Japarov instructed The Kyrgyz police and the State Committee for National Security have stepped up their search for bread.

In the last five years, Turkish authorities have been arrested and forcibly returned to Turkey by a large number of people allegedly linked to the Glen movement in various parts of the world. There, they are arrested on trumped-up terrorism charges in violation of international law that protects fundamental rights, including freedom and security, justice, freedom of thought, expression, and association.

In some of these cases, there is a UN Working Group on Prohibited Arrestsgave feedback To determine whether Turkey has been subjected to arbitrary deprivation of liberty for men. In many cases, men became victims of forced disappearances as part of an illegal process to force them to return to Turkey.

When a person goes missing by force, he or she is imprisoned by state agents or by a biased decision, but his or her detention is either denied or his or her whereabouts are concealed, and legal protection against such illegal forms of detention is violated. As in other such cases, there are serious and credible concerns that the already arbitrarily seized bread will result in long-term illegal detention and unfair trials.

The Turkish government must immediately announce the location of the bread in Turkey and ensure its immediate release. During his detention, he must undergo a full and thorough medical examination by an independent doctor in a hospital without the presence of security personnel, and a lawyer of his choice must be given immediate access to appear before him immediately. judge. Kyrgyzstan must take steps to ensure the safety of its citizens and protect human rights, and bring to justice all those responsible for their abduction, forced disappearance and illegal deportation to Turkey.
