'Cause this doesn't happen unless it was intentional. By design. To demonize an intended target. For the creation of bad press. Trial by media... Amnesty International's Protestors, threatened by Turkish Security in WashingtonAmnesty International, just another, scummy No Good OrganizationAmnesty International giving legitimacy to the illegitimate.Amnesty Press Release: And no surprise they have an individual who will spin for the media
(WASHINGTON, DC) - Today a delegation of Amnesty International USA staff and volunteers protested human rights abuses in Turkey in front of the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC where Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a speech. Amnesty protestors were confronted by plainclothes Turkish security who threatened them and grabbed at their protest signs."Today’s confrontation in Washington vividly illustrates how little Turkey’s government values human rights such as freedom of the press and freedom of assembly. Those who were present at today’s protest saw firsthand the consequences of governments that violate human rights,” said T. Kumar, Amnesty International USA’s advocacy director for Europe.Amnesty International USA urged President Obama to address human rights concerns with President Erdogan earlier this week.Kumar, who was at the scene and was personally threatened by Turkish security, is available for interviews.
Can you say provocation? Pay particular attention to the fact there is NO SOUND included with this video

Without the sound I cannot discern for myself what is actually going on! Why is the sound off?Another curious case of a twitter video with no volume?- Scroll down to the 17 second video feed. Amberim Zaman can claim all the baloney, garbage and nonsense she wants to claimThere is nothing to substantiate here claim at her twitter nonsense and Turkish Security walks quite calmly towards her, considering she looks to be making an intentional idiot of herself.I didn't hear anyone saying a thing to her. Why should I believe her claims? Hmmmm......Amberin Zaman, the Economist's former Turkey correspondent and scholar at the Wilson Center, a DC think tank, reported that after being confronted by security she was called a "PKK whore," a reference to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party. She writes often about the Kurds.

Unsubstantiated claims are claims with no substance. And videos, devoid of sound, have no substance, nor do they support the claims made by either party.10:09 pm est: I originally posted the information above nearly 3 hours ago, I checked my computer volume, listened to audio in different video footage (You tube) and my computer is okay. Everything is working. YET when I check back to the two videos I linked to, still, nearly 3 hours later there is not a sound to be heard- So, I still cannot verify claims made by two agenda pushing individuals
