Subject: New Ilisu Report and Global Hasankeyf Action Day!
Dear all,

in the attachment you can find a new report on the Ilisu Dam and
Hydroelectric Power Plant Project, one of the most controversial dams
worldwide. The report includes the basics and recent developments of the
Ilisu Project under construction and the threatened 12.000 years old
town Hasankeyf. You can distribute and publish the report where ever you
feel so.

Our struggle against this destructive dam continues: on September 23,
2017 we will organize with many people and organizations in many
countries the 2nd Global Hasankeyf Action Day. See call at our website.
You can join with one action in your town us! If interested get in
contact with us.

On Sept 9, three days ago, a coalition of 51 civil organizations have
done a statement and declared their commitment to the struggle against
the Ilisu Dam! See: http://www.hasankeyfgirisimi.net/?p=525&lang=tr <http://www.hasankeyfgirisimi.net/?p=525&lang=tr>
