Conditions US military aid to Turkey on human rights improvements and supports Turkish activists.
This bill would tie US security assistance to Turkey to its human rights record. It would stop military funding unless Turkey shows real progress in releasing political prisoners and ending repression. The bill also sets aside money to help Turkish civil society groups and independent journalists.
Today, the US provides security assistance to Turkey without explicit conditions tied to specific human rights concerns, despite widespread detentions and censorship. After this bill, US military aid to Turkey would be stopped unless Turkey shows clear progress in reducing political prisoners, ending misuse of anti-terrorism laws, and complying with international court rulings. The US would also actively support Turkish civil society and independent media.
