Dr. Şebnem Korur Fincancı, President of the Turkish Medical Association (TTB), was released from prison last month after her October arrest as part of the appeals process. She was found guilty of the charges of “spreading terrorist propaganda”.
The Committee of Concerned Scientists urges that she be acquitted of all charges.
