Mr. Abdullah Gul, President, Republic of Turkey : cumhurbaskanligi@tccb.gov.tr

Your Excellencies,

The Kurdish mayor of SUR Abdullah Demirbaş was arrested on December 24th 2009 because of his struggle to encourage multiculturalism and languages in Diyarbakir.

He was sentenced to a long time prison penal. The poor conditions in the prison

contributed in deteriorating his prior illness, which thereafter hospitalized him at the

Dicle University hospital in Diyarbakir.

His condition worsened additionally and after much international pressure the prison

penal was converted to a traveling prohibition on May 14th 2010.

His disease is called deep vein thrombosis and without treatment the symptoms

aggravate. According to a medical extra report from the faculty of medicine at

Istanbul University, Demirbaş must receive treatment abroad in order to be given the

medicine pradaxa. In order to do so genetic preliminary investigations are necessary

with guardianship from a medical clinic.

In order to annul the travelling prohibition against him Demirbaş has without any

result turned to the parliamentary commission for human rights in Turkey.

We hereby want the traveling prohibition towards Demirbaş annulled immediately so

that he can see treatment abroad.

Best regards
