Free Fehriye Erdal, Political prisoner in Belgium
Ms Fehriye Erdal, 23, of Turkish nationality, was arrested in Belgium on =
26 September 1999 and has been in detention ever since. Her demand for =
political asylum was rejected by the Belgian Minister of the Interior on =
10 July 2000.
The High Commissionner for Refugees is however of the opinion that Ms =
Erdal cannot be sent to Turkey or to another country. That would be =
contrary to article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights. =
Fehriye Erdal should thus be freed, all the more so as the Belgian =
Council of State suspended both the decision to refuse her right of stay =
and the order to leave the country, delivered on 25 July 2000 by the =
Minister of the Interior.=20
Ms Erdal has been on hunger-strike since July 14. In order to demand her =
liberation, fifteen other people began a solidarity hunger-strike on =
August 5.
On 4 August, the President of the Belgian League of Human Rights, Dan =
Van Raemdonck wrote to the Minister of the Interior, Antoine Duquesne: =
"We ask you to put an end to this arbitrary detention, since expulsion =
from Belgium is not possible without particularly grave risks".
In consequence, the undersigned demand the immediate and unconditonal =
liberation of Fehriye Erdal.
