Ο Cihan Erdal είναι ένα από τα δεκάδες άτομα που συνελήφθησαν την Παρασκευή από τις τουρκικές αρχές και από τότε κρατείται παράνομα, ενώ ο δικηγόρος του δεν έχει καταφέρει ακόμα να δει λεπτομέρειες του φακέλου του. ΛΟΑΤΚΙ ακτιβιστής, κουρδικής καταγωγής, μέλος της νεολαίας του Λαϊκού Δημοκρατικού Κόμματος (HDP), υποψήφιος διδάκτορας στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Carleton και μόνιμος κάτοικος του Καναδά, βρέθηκε στην Τουρκία για να πραγματοποιήσει τη διδακτορική του έρευνα – και από εκεί στο στόχαστρο του Ερντογάν. Τον Απρίλη του 2017 είχε μιλήσει στο TPP λέγοντας για τις αναίτιες συλλήψεις στελεχών της νεολαίας του HDP οι οποίες αυξάνονταν ολοένα και παραπάνω από τότε.

Carleton PhD student detained in Turkey
Detention of Cihan Erdal, 32, apparently linked to a 2014 letter supporting Kurds in Syria

In the ten years they’ve been together, Ömer Ongun has not gone a day without hearing the voice of his partner, Cihan Erdal.
It’s now been three days since they’ve spoken.
Their last conversation came on Friday, just moments before Erdal was detained in Istanbul’s Besiktas neighbourhood.
“It was 2 a.m. for us, 9 a.m. for Cihan in Istanbul. He called me and said ‘I love you. They are at my door. They’re going to take me away,'” Ongun said.
Erdal, a 32-year-old PhD candidate at Carleton University and a permanent resident of Canada, is now being held at a detention centre in the Turkish capital, Ankara.
He was among dozens of people named in warrants issued across Turkey on Friday. Ongun, also a permanent resident, said Erdal’s lawyer has not been allowed to see the specifics of his case file, but the allegations against all of the detainees relate to a letter written in 2014.
The letter called on the Turkish government to step in to help the Kurdish town of Kobani, in Syria, at the height of ISIS attacks.
