Recognition of linguistic rights? This report presents the findings of a fact-finding mission to Turkey sent by Kurdish Human Rights Project (KHRP) and the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales (BHRC) in July 2005 to investigate the current status of protection for linguistic rights. The mission held numerous interviews including with representatives of human rights organisations, media, bar associations, political parties, unions and organisers of linguistic courses.

For most citizens of the world, the right to speak and write in their mother tongue, the language of their parents and forefathers is a commonly accepted right. For the Kurds of Turkey, however, this is a right that has long been denied, and for which they have been persecuted for decades. The ability to speak in Kurdish was only recently granted, and is still significantly limited in practice. |
