The UN has voiced grave concern about the arbitrary detention and arrests of human rights defenders in Turkey and called on the government to ensure that activists can carry out their work in a safe and enabling environment without fear.
Turkish authorities are overly concerned about revolutionary elements, responding by forbidding people to take to the streets to protest.. Citizens of modern democracies have the right to resist unconstitutional actions by government agencies. When the power of the state deviates from its power base, the people should act to recover their sovereignty. The right to resist illegal violence is a constitutional right of the people. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
