Please find [at the button below] a letter from the Board of the Provident Fund.

The object of the fund, for now, devoted to our Turkish Colleagues, is to assist judges and prosecutors who are suspended, detained or face other state sanction, including prosecution, simply because of the proper exercise of their functions.
