			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here now finally some of my photos from Nawabad/Afghanistan from February 2012. Nawabad is located in the Northeast of Afghanistan and has around 2.000 citizens. Outgoing from the PHQ (Police Headquarter) and with the help of ANP (Afghan National Police) and CIPP (Critical Infrastructure Protection Program) the German ISAF troops try to keep the Taliban out of the area and help the local people with infrastructure projects. Still poverty and the ongoing war are an everyday challenge for the Afghan people&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Another year has gone by. So here a retrospective of 2011 in photos.<br />

Hopefully this new year of 2012 will see less violence and more positive perspectives for the region of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria as well as for the Kurdish people. <em>(click photo to enlarge it in a new window)</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>21.12.2011: Der türkische Menschenrechtsverein hat heute seine Jahresbilanz gezogen. Nach den Angaben des IHD wurden im Jahre 2011 6.800 Personen aus politischen Gründen festgenommen, 3.800 davon befinden sich noch immer in Haft. </em><em>Die Zahl der inhaftierten Journalisten liegt nach Angaben des IHD mittlerweile bei 120! Bei Demonstrationen im Jahre 2011 wurden sechs Personen getötet, 271 Personen zum Teil schwer verletzt. Insgesamt wurden bei kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen 330 Menschen getötet, 19 Personen extralegal hingerichtet. Man kann mit Recht von einem latenten Bürgerkrieg in der Türkei sprechen.</em></p>
<p>20.12.2011: Seit den frühen Morgenstunden klingelt mein Telefon und ich bekomme im Minutentakt neue E-Mails. Grund dafür ist eine massive Verhaftungswelle in der Türkei gegen kurdische, aber auch kritische türkische, Journalisten. Bis zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt sind 38 Festnahmen bestätigt worden. Die Festnahmen wurden im ganzen Land vollzogen &#8211; als Begründung wurde überall &#8220;Propaganda für eine terroristische Vereinigung&#8221;, ergo der PKK, vorgeschoben.</p>
<p>Mit diesen massenhaften Festnahmen (acht der festgenommenen Journalisten kenne ich persönlich und habe mit ihnen direkt in der Türkei zusammen gearbeitet) bestärkt die AKP Regierung unter Erdogan ihren eingeschlagenen Kurs: Repression gegenüber kritischen Stimmen sowie die Niederschlagung jedweder friedlichen kurdischen wie auch demokratisch-säkularen Bewegung im Lande. So wurden in den letzten zwei Jahren mehrere tausend (!) pro-kurdische Politiker, Bürgermeister, Anwälte, Menschenrechtsaktivisten, Frauenaktivistinnen wie auch kurdische Zivilisten im Alter von 10-80 verhaftet. Manch türkischer Beobachter sieht hier die Konstruktion einer neuen Krisensituation, welche am Ende in einen neuen Bürgerkrieg münden wird.</p>
<p>Aus diesem Anlass poste ich hier nochmals einen guten Beitrag des ZAPP-Medienmagazins (NDR), welcher vor gut einem Monat ausgestrahlt wurde. Es ging um die damaligen Massenverhaftungen von Intellektuellen und international bekannten Journalisten in der Türkei:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hallo alle zusammen,</p>
<p>hiermit entschuldige ich mich dafür, dass in letzter Zeit keine Updates auf meinem Blog zu finden sind. Aber – neben recht viel Arbeit nach der Rückkehr aus dem Erdbebengebiet von Van/Türkei – hat mich eine deftige Erkältung erwischt. Ab kommende Woche sollte ich wieder regelmäßig neue Blog-Beiträge posten.</p>
<p>Bis dahin hier ein unglaublicher interessanter Film-Trailer über eine Gruppe von Wissenschaftlern und Künstlern (darunter auch ein renommierter Fotograf), welche in Richtung „Ende der Welt“ aufbrechen:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sechs Wochen nach dem verheerenden Erdbeben in Van, bei welchem 650 Menschen starben und über 6.000 Personen verletzt wurden, ist die Situation in der Stadt Van, welche primär von Kurden bewohnt wird, weiterhin erschreckend: Fehlende staatliche Unterstützung, massive Nachbeben und der anbrechende Winter lassen eine humanitäre Katastrophe erahnen. Dennoch geht auch hier das Leben weiter. Dazu zwei fotografische Impressionen (<em>click to enlarge photos</em>):</p>

<p>Farrin Kazmi <em>(Name aus Sicherheitsgründen geändert)</em> ist mit ihrem Mann über die Iranisch-Türkische Grenze, heimlich und illegal, gereist. Nun wartet Sie seit 33 Tagen vor einer türkischen Gerichtsmedizin auf die Freigabe des Leichnams ihres Sohnes. Ihr Sohn wurde zwischen dem 22. &#8211; 24. Oktober diesen Jahres, als Mitglied der kurdischen Guerillagruppe PKK, vermutlich durch einen (völkerrechtlich) illegalen Chemiewaffeneinsatz der türkischen Armee, getötet. Mit ihm starben 36 weitere Mitglieder der PKK. Nur vier Leichen weisen Schusswunden auf. Die 34 weiteren Getöteten sind zum großen Teil bis zur Unkenntlichkeit verbrannt.</p>
<p>Die türkische Staatsanwaltschaft weigert sich die Autopsieberichte öffentlich zu machen und verzögert die Herausgabe der Körper. Gleichzeitig hat der türkische Staat vor kurzem ein neues Gesetz erlassen, welches es Hinterbliebenen von PKK Kämpfern aus dem Iran verbietet die Toten im Grenzgebiet zu beerdigen. Die Überbringung und Beisetzung im Iran ist durch die iranische Führung verboten worden.</p>
<p>Somit können die Eltern nicht einmal durch eine Beerdigung nahe der Heimat adäquat Abschied nehmen, sondern müssen ihr Kind, nach zähen Verhandlungen mit der Staatsanwaltschaft, in einem örtlichen Grab unterbringen; sofern die Staatsanwaltschaft die Leiche überhaupt freigibt.</p>
<p>Auch ist es in letzter Zeit öfters dazu gekommen, dass die türkische Staatsanwaltschaft die Anwesenheit der Eltern dem iranischen Staat mitteilt und die Eltern bei der Rückkehr durch iranische Sicherheitskräfte verhaftet werden: Es drohen Gefängnis, Folter und im schlimmsten Fall der Tod.</p>
