Eren Keskin is vice-president of the Turkish Human Rights Association (IHD) and former president of its Istanbul branch. She has been repeatedly threatened, assaulted, and arrested by Turkish authorities for exposing and speaking out against the abuses suffered by women in Turkish prisons, and co-founded the project "Legal Aid for Women Who Were Raped or Otherwise Sexually Abused by National Security Forces." In 1995, Keskin was imprisoned for her human rights activities and was adopted as a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International. In 2004, she received the prestigious Aachen Peace Award "for her courageous efforts and activities for human rights." And in 2005, she was awarded the Esslingen-based Theodor Haecker Prize for Civic Courage and Political Integrity. In March 2006, Keskin was sentenced to 10 months' imprisonment for insulting the Turkish military; the sentence was later converted to a fine of 6,000 New Turkish Liras, which she refused to pay.
Proud are all FREEDOM loving peoples to have a great Kurdish human rights activist who has been working alongside righteous Turkish activists to bring freedom and justice to Armenians, Turks and Kurds.
Eren Keskins makes me a proud Kurd.
Ferhat
I deeply admire Ms. Keskin’s moral integrity and strength of character. It takes a very brave person to express one’s views so openly, given the Turkish government’s determination to deal harshly with any Turkish citizen who dares to acknowledge the Armenian genocide.
Vahe
Erin Keskin: A brave woman;
“One brave woman better than thousand speechless men.”
