Turkish police raid human rights HQ
BBC report on a raid by Turkish police on the country's oldest and largest human rights organization. Information relating to Turkey's campaign against the Kurds seems to have been the focus of the raid. The group
had been prosecuted 300 times in the first 14 years of its existence, it said, but in the last three years it had faced 437 cases, none of which had resulted in a successful prosecution.
Fourteen officials of the organisation have been killed.
Files relating to the deaths of over 800 people while in the custody of security forces were also taken.
