THREE more women were jailed today a week after more than 20 were detained in mass arrests targeting women’s organisations in Turkey’s largely Kurdish city of Diyarbakir.
Free Women’s Movement (TJA) activist Zelal Bilgin and Diyarbakir metropolitan municipality councillors Bahar Karakas Ulug and Rabia Tekas were jailed on charges of “membership of an illegal organisation.”
They were sent to Diyarbakir women’s closed prison, bringing the number jailed during the operation to 11.
