Letters in Support of Geldy

21st February 2012

Below are links to three short letters you can use to ask the President of Turkmenistan and the country's Minister of Foreign Affairs to allow Geldy and his family to leave Turkmenistan so Geldy can receive medical treatment. The letters refer to Amnesty International's recent Urgent Action call, further information on which is available here.

Below, we have posted letters for you print and complete (your address, the name and address of your MP/MEP, the date, as required) or to use as a starting point for your own letter. The letter explains Geldy's situation, but in particular asks that demands be made on the Turkmen government to say whether Geldy is alive.

Last October the European Union took a strong stance against Turkmenistan's appalling Human Rights record. With the former President now dead and an "election" pending, there has never been a better time to persuade Turkmenistan to amend its Human Rights record.
