Thirteen environmental activists in Turkey have been placed in preventive detention on terrorism charges ahead of the upcoming NATO summit. The Turkish authorities have cited suspicions that the activists may engage in terrorist activities during this significant event. This preemptive action has raised concerns and drawn criticism, with human rights organizations highlighting it as a broader attempt to stifle civil society.
The detained individuals are associated with the Tema Foundation, an organization focused on environmental issues. Their lawyer has labeled the accusations as "extravagant" and indicative of a judicial error, arguing that such actions serve to silence dissent and intimidate those involved in advocacy and activism. The Istanbul public prosecutor's office indicated that the activists had participated in a demonstration, which contributed to the decision to detain them, claiming it raised suspicion about their intentions during the NATO summit.
