On February 15, 2021, Istanbul's 23rd High Criminal Court handed down a sentence of six years and nine months to Eren Keskin, a prominent human rights lawyer and WHRD. She was charged with “membership in an armed terrorist organization.”

Eren Keskin is a prominent human rights defender, lawyer, and the Co-Chair of the Human Rights Association in Turkey. She is also the founder of the Legal Aid Bureau Against Sexual Harassment and Rape in Custody in Turkey.

Eren has been arrested multiple times for her effort to uphold freedom of expression and her peaceful and legitimate fight to promote human rights in Turkey. The court initially sentenced her to 7.5 years because of an article published in the newspaper she co-edits. She has also been targeted by the pro-government smear campaigns on social media.

FEMENA condemns the ruling against Eren Keskin and calls on the government of Turkey to immediately drop all charges against her. Turkey must end its persecution of WHRDs. #supprtEHRDs #erenkeskin #turkey

For over 25 years, #AzzaSoliman has tirelessly stood by the victims of torture and arbitrary detention in Egypt. She is once again targeted by state media smear campaigns and baseless attacks aiming to discredit and undermine her efforts. Femena, stands in solidarity with #AzzaSoliman and urges the Egyptian authorities to immediately stop the systematic harassment of Azza and WHRDs. #SupportWHRDs #Egypt
