The Dokuz8 news blog out of Istanbul is circulating the content of a letter sent by Musa Kart from his prison cell, asking for drawing materials.

CRNI has verified the letter’s authenticity and while the English translation is inexact the meaning is clear. Just as he did before his arrest in November last year, Musa expresses incredulity that his work can cause such consternation among those in authority in Turkey that his imprisonment is warranted.

As we approach his 100th day in custody CRNI call again for his immediate release along with all his colleagues in the press and media.
