Scope and content
Materials pertaining to the application filed by Rahime Demirtaş, Aysel Türkmen, Ayse Özedmir, and Nahide Aydoğdu on 14 July 1994 against the Republic of Turkey (referred to internally within the Kurdish Litigation Project as Cases 187 through 190 and assigned to Tim Otty as lead) regarding the unlawful detainment and torture of their husbands after being taken from their homes in Şakirpaşa, Adana by security forces on 16 January 1995. No progress was made beyond the initial emergency application as the legal representatives were unable to make further contact with the applicants, apparently due to fear of persecution.
