Default TURKEY: "'Human Rights Reforms Slowed' AI Says"... "Torture and ill-treatment continued to be reported..."!

THIS APPEAL IS POSTED TO THE WORST *GOGU SPAM* AFFLICTED GROUPS

Has it ever occurred to you just how much garbage would dissapear from
these groups if the *anonymous TROLL* Gogu was suddenly OUTED ?

One peek at this SPAM-freaks posting history and you'll see what I
mean, since 1998 some FIFTY THOUSAND massively cross-posted ABUSIVE
messages have left his trolling keyboard AND RUINED the usenet
experience for thousands of innocent posters

http://snipurl.com/qpzk

http://snipurl.com/pemw

Clearly this trolling spod gets a buzz out of deliberately destroying
YOUR usenet news-groups, he does so with "perceived impunity" feeling
snug in the knowledge that nobody knows HIS TRUE IDENTITY.....

I KNOW that some posters out there have traded coins with the GOGU
TROLL and I know of others who correspond with him under his true
indentity and know who is the true person behind the GOGU MENACE

Please post any information you have about the true identity of this
troll, or, if you prefer you may email it to "The OUT Gogu campaign"


I PROMISE YOU THAT ONCE HIS NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER and true EMAIL
ADDRESS ( ie
for eg NOT ) are made
public he will not have the power to destroy all these "CULTURE"
news-groups with his hatred, spamming, trolling, anti-semitism and vile
racist vitriol

I also promise that one the gogu menace is wiped from the face of
usenet that Seanie will also dissapear and our groups will all return
to normall

ALL INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED IN THE STRICTED CONFIDENCE, ALL PEOPLE
CONTRIBUTING WILL HAVE THEIR UTMOST PRIVACY RESPECTED

THANK YOU

LONDON / 23 May 2006



"During 2005 some of the world's most powerful governments were successfully
challenged, their hypocrisy exposed by the media, their arguments rejected
by courts of law, their repressive tactics resisted by human rights
activists. After five years of backlash against human rights in the "war on
terror", the tide appeared to be turning" says international rights
organization Amnesty International (AI)in its 2006 Report .

"Nevertheless, the lives of millions of people worldwide were devastated by
the denial of fundamental rights" AI exposes and adds: "Human security was
threatened by war and attacks by armed groups as well as by hunger, disease
and natural disasters. Freedoms were curtailed by repression, discrimination
and social exclusion".

Documenting human rights abuses in 150 countries around the world the report
also Gives considerable space to the situation in Turkey. Below is the
Turkey Section of the report.



TURKEY

REPUBLIC OF TURKEY

Head of state: Ahmet Necdet Sezer

Head of government: Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Death penalty: abolitionist for all crimes



International Criminal Court: not signed UN Women's Convention and its
Optional Protocol: ratified

The Council of Ministers of the European Union (EU) formally opened
negotiations for Turkey's membership of the EU.

Practical implementation of reforms intended to bring Turkish law into line
with international standards slowed in 2005. The law provided for continuing
restrictions on the exercise of fundamental rights. Those expressing
peaceful dissent on certain issues faced criminal prosecution and sanctions
after the introduction of the new Turkish Penal Code.

Torture and ill-treatment continued to be reported, with those detained for
ordinary crimes particularly at risk. Law enforcement officers continued to
use excessive force in the policing of demonstrations; four demonstrators
were shot dead in November.

Investigations of such incidents were inadequate and law enforcement
officers responsible for violations were rarely brought to justice. Human
rights deteriorated in the eastern and south-eastern provinces in the
context of a rise in armed clashes between the Turkish security services and
the armed opposition Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).



Background



In June, the new Turkish Penal Code (TPC), Code of Criminal Procedure and
Law on the Enforcement of Sentences (LES) entered into force. The laws
contained positive aspects, with the TPC offering greater protection from
violence to women.

However, the TPC in particular also included restrictions to the right to
freedom of expression. Human rights defenders in Turkey also raised
objections to the punishment regime for prisoners envisaged by the LES.

A revised draft of the Anti-Terror Law was being discussed by a
parliamentary sub-commission at the end of the year; human rights groups had
commented critically on earlier drafts. In September Turkey signed the
Optional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. In October the Council of
Ministers of the EU formally opened negotiations for Turkey's membership of
the EU.



Freedom of expression



A wide range of laws containing fundamental restrictions on freedom of
expression remained in force. These resulted in the prosecution of
individuals for the peaceful expression of opinions in many areas of public
life.

The pattern of prosecutions and judgments also often demonstrated
prosecutors' and judges' lack of knowledge of international human rights
law. In some cases comments by senior government officials demonstrated an
intolerance of dissenting opinion or open debate and seemed to sanction
prosecution.
