Samuel Jordan's Speech on the KNC-NA 24th Annual Conference May 2012  

 

Remarks by Samuel Jordan for Presentation at Washington, DC Conference of the Kurdish National Congress of North America

 

May 12 - 13, 2012

Thank you and good morning. I'm Samuel Jordan, former Director of the Program to Abolish the Death Penalty at Amnesty International. A number of you know that in 1999, I conducted a "Human Rights Solidarity Tour" in Turkey to investigate and address Turkish human rights conflicts on behalf of Amnesty International and our members in Turkey.

 

It was also my mission to campaign against the threatened execution of the Honorable Abdullah Ocalan. I can report with some relief that the advocacy of human rights defenders like Amnesty International and the pressures of the Turkish concern for accession into the European Union led to the decision to commute Mr. Ocalan's sentence to life imprisonment, which is as you know, still a death penalty - death by incarceration. Having committed no crimes, he should be released. However, fighting for dignity and self-determination is considered criminal in some quarters.
