Scope and content
Final pleadings of the applicant in the Mehmet Haran case submitted to the European Commission of Human Rights. The applicant 'submits that the attitude of the authorities to the Kurdish civilian population is such that they treat all civilians as PKK supporters and PKK sympathisers... ...As such civilians killed are 'legitimate' casualties of the fight against the PKK, on the basis of their ethnic origin.' The applicant submits that he has established beyond reasonable doubt that the violations claimed under the European Convention on Human Rights have occurred. Attached are statements (in Turkish with English translation) from June 1997 of Mehmet Haran and Meyase Haran regarding the harassment of their family by security forces pertaining both to this case and to the Nesime Haran case (A44/43/1/35).
