10/20/19 - Rep. Raskin posted the following to Facebook: "The unjust imprisonment of Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirta? by President Erdogan is an outrage. That’s why I’m advocating for his release through the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission’s Defending Freedoms Project. Democratically-elected members of government like Demirta? should not be rotting in prison simply because their party is out of power. I stand for the freedom of Selahattin Demirta? and call on the Turkish government to release him immediately." View the Facebook post here.
