Forensic medicine expert and human rights defender Professor

Şebnem Korur Fincancı

has dedicated her life to eradicating torture and defending human rights.

Trying to silence her, the Turkish authorities have subjected Şebnem to baseless criminal investigations. In 2023, she was convicted for allegedly “making propaganda for a terrorist organization” after she had called for an investigation into allegations that the Turkish military was using chemical weapons in Iraq.

Şebnem is appealing against her conviction but could be imprisoned for almost two years if unsuccessful.

Demand the Turkish authorities stop their harassment of Professor Şebnem Korur Fincancı.
