UK offers Turkey help with nuclear energy “in exchange for more Turkish investment in the UK” whilst Kurds (And UK based activists) get treated like dirt!
Set her free: end the detention of refugee women
Every year, hundreds of women who have come to this country seeking refuge from persecution are locked up in detention in the UK.
Our new research, Detained: women asylum seekers locked up in the UK, shines a new light into the experiences of women in detention.
Most of the women we spoke to who had been detained said they had survived rape and torture.
Detention only increases their trauma. One in five of the women we spoke to had tried to kill herself in detention. Their cases should be considered while they are living in the community…..
http://refugeewomen.com/campaign/Above is a harrowing tale of a thirteen years old Turkish Kurd refugee in the UK. Looking at this article below we get to see how these nuclear agreements often end up destroying human rights in any country that is involved with the “nuclear cycle”. Meltem was psychologically and physically tortured at the hands of the Serco and the British government. Where did this all happen? In the UK! If you are of a nervous or sensitive condition it might be best to give this video a miss. It broke my heart as an englishman. Normally, give a warning concerning the interviewers language but even he was stunned to silence! Thank you chunkymark on you tube for these interviews. Keep `em coming. heres part 2

On my eventual return to the UK from Guantanamo, along with three other British citizens I received a letter from the Home Office informing me that my ability to apply for a passport had been restricted by the Home Secretary under the powers of the ‘Royal Prerogative http://www.islam21c.com/politics/the-real-reason-behind-the-confiscation-of-my-passport/
Turkey’s first nuke plant at country’s southern Mediterranean coastal town of Akkuyu has been awarded to the Russian company Rosatom who are contracted to build, own and operate the plant. The second nuclear power plant in the Black Sea port city of Sinop is contracted to the Japanese/French consortium Mitsubishi-Areva.
The UK can offer technical support to Turkey in the nuclear energy sector in exchange for more Turkish investment in the UK, said UK‘s Minister for Europe David Lidington on Tuesday during the opening of an energy conferererce in Ankara, the Turkish capital.
He said the UK recognizes Turkey as Europe’s only emerging economic power with a sustainable economic growth.
The minister called on Turkish businesspeople who have now a special visa agreement to invest more in the UK.
“Britain has much to offer to Turkish businesses in all sectors both large and small. The UK can provide Turkish businesses with a springboard into Europe and to the wider world,” he said.
He said the UK can provide emerging countries with search and development programs in the nuclear energy sector.
– “Turkey wants to benefit from UK‘s nuclear experience”
Turkey’s Deputy Energy Minister Murat Mercan expressed his hope that the Ankara conference will help improve energy cooperation between the UK and Turkey.
Three quarters of Turkey’s energy needs come from imports for which it pays around US$60 billion per year, said Mercan, adding “for this reason Turkey has to invest in nuclear energy.”
Mercan said his country had plans to develop Turkey’s nuclear energy capability with three or four nuclear power plants within the next 15 years with an investment cost of £12.6bn.

The energy conference in Ankara takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
