The month of April saw a sharp increase in human rights abuses by the Turkish government against the Kurds, including the sentencing of the Makhmoor camp’s peace delegation from last October. 

CPT delegation members met with families of the peace delegation.  The mothers, brothers, fathers, sons, husbands, and wives asked, “Is it too much to ask for basic rights?”  They told delegates, “We just want peace,” and expressed their willingness to risk death or imprisonment in pursuit of human rights for Kurds in Turkish Kurdistan.

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.
