On behalf of the Secretary General of the Congress
Dear heads of national delegations,
Many of you have contacted the secretariat following the arrest and detention on Monday of the Congress youth delegate in respect of Türkiye.
Please find below a link to the statement published today by the President of the Congress about this situation.
Congress President calls for immediate release of Congress youth delegate arrested in Türkiye – Portal
This statement has been shared on the Congress social media (LinkedIn / Facebook / X)
While the Congress has the lead on the matter, we are coordinating the reaction and action with the Secretary General of the Council of Europe and the Commissioner for Human Rights. The President also intends to raise this matter with the Committee of Ministers when he meets them in early September.
Apart from the political pressure and dialogue, we are in touch with Enes’ representatives to help them as appropriate.
The President wishes to invite you to share his statement via your usual channels. We are also in touch with the Congress youth delegates.
Kind regards
Mathieu MORI
