President of International Human Rights Federation (FIDH) Souyahr Belhassen says the trial of 151 Kurdish politicians which will be held tomorrow in Diyarbakir, must be transparent.

Belhassen said that tomorrow's trial is one of the major violations against human rights defenders in Kurdish region. He pointed that the deputy president of Human Rights Association (IHD) Muharrem Erbey will also stand trial and said that he is a symbol for the human rights struggle in Turkey.

Belhassen also said that it's their duty to inform the international community about the developments regarding the trial.

"The Kurdish politicians are standing trial because they demanded their cultural rights and expressed their opinions" he said.

"The prohibition of using the mother language must be considered a crime. The detention of Kurdish politicians is an act against freedom of expression"

Belhassen also called the government to reform the constitution in aspect of human and minority rights.
