Turkey Human Rights Accountability Project - Michael Polak

The Arrested Lawyers initiative has launched a legal campaign called the Turkey Human Rights Accountability Project to have prominent abusers of human rights in Turkey placed on the United Kingdom's sanction list. This will be a springboard for similar submission in the United States and the European Union. In this video, I interviewed Michael Polak, Barrister, about this project details.
