Turkey Report

Turkey is facing a growing human rights crisis, with a decline in the rule of law and democracy, and institutional racism against non-Muslims and ethnic minorities. The country's protection of minority groups falls short of international standards, as exemplified by the policy of Turkification, which fails to recognize individuals' rights to ethnic, national, and religious identification. This practice violates international standards for minority rights, including religious freedom, speech, political participation, and discrimination. Turkey has also violated human rights, including the mistreatment of Kurds, water supply cuts, and the conviction of freelance journalists.

Annual Report 2013: Human Rights in Bangladesh

Bangladesh's human rights situation worsened in 2013 due to government policies that supported singular identity politics. The country's top-down approach, based on Bengali nationalism and Islam as the state religion, has led to conflict and violence among minorities who do not fit into the singular national identity. Minorities remain vulnerable to communal attacks, forced conversions, land grabbing, discrimination, intimidation, and sexual violence. This situation is reinforced by a culture of impunity, corruption, inefficiencies in the judicial system, non-existing constitutional protection for the right to education, rising extremism, and traditions fueling social stigmas towards marginalized groups. The 10th parliamentary elections in 2014 targeted ethnic and religious minorities, particularly Hindus, and the Buddhist community. Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) has been monitoring human rights for religious and ethnic minorities in Bangladesh since 2003, focusing on sexual minorities since 2012.
