Nalan Erkem, Seyhmuz Ozbekli, Ozlem Dalkiran, Idil Eser, Veli Acu, Gunal Kursun, Ilknur Ustun, Nejat Tastan, Ali Gharavi and Peter Steudtner were to be called the "Istanbul 10", after their arrest on 5 July 2017. They had gathered in the island Büyükada outside Istanbul for a workshop about protection of digital information.[1] The arrest of these human rights defenders attracted international media attention and led to several diplomatic negotiations.
The "Istanbul 10" were released on bail on 25 October 2017, after 113 days in detention.[2] Amnesty International's Chair in Turkey,[3] Taner Kılıç, was only released on 16 August 2018.[4]
