"This booklet aims to provide insights and advice about how to respond to cases of persecution and/or threats to the safety and security of human rights defend- ers (HRDs). It also speaks to those issues as they apply to other nonviolent activists in Turkey and to people who are not politically organized and who may never have thought that they may face persecution. The vulnerability of the lat- ter is particularly high because – unlike activists – they did not prepare for such an emergency. They and their families are taken by surprise and often struggle to figure out what to do. Protective accompaniment from afar means providing protection without be- ing physically present in the country. It looks at what local people can do – par- ticularly activists or friends of the persecuted. And it looks at what international supporters can do to help them secure the safety of those seeking to peacefully exercise their democratic rights."
