MEHMET BAL HAS BEEN FREED AND IS BACK IN ISTANBUL. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR MESSAGES OF SUPPORT, FOR SENDING FAXES AND SIGNING THE PETITION. WE\'D LIKE TO HELP THOSE THAT ARE STILL TRAPPED IN THE LIMBO CREATED BY THE ABSENCE OF CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR RECOGNITION BY TURKEY AND WHO ARE SUFFERING A \"CIVIL DEATH\" AS PRONOUNCED BY THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS. THOSE STILL SUFFERING ARE: OSMAN MURAT
Seeing 500 people stand behind Mehmet feels like a weight lifting off my chest. When I started this, I was terrified he would be forgotten in that cell. Your signatures prove that people are watching and that we refuse to be silent while he suffers.

Mehmet is finally home but the struggle for the others trapped in this nightmare continues with every signature. We need to hit five hundred names to keep the pressure high while Osman and the rest still wait for justice.

Great news about Mehmet but this is still so heart breaking for the others. Nobody should be losing their whole life just for conscience.

My heart goes out to those still stuck. It is not right to treat people like criminals just for saying no to war.

glad he is home but we need to keep pushing for the rest of them. Turkey needs to change these laws now.
