It was in early June that Turkey detained the local head of Amnesty International on suspicions of having links with anti-government movements. Now the rights group has called on the international community to take action against the detention. This comes after the European Union said Turkey remains a membership candidate despite its worsening rights record. Our correspondent Rahshan Saglam reports.
