Our Turkish teachers, who have been working and living in the Republic of Moldova for 25 years, were falsely accused by the Turkish President Erdogan of being part of the Gulen movement and claimed terrorist just like other educators of other countries like it happened in Bulgaria. They have been forcibly taken from their families and homes and illegally deported two days ago to Turkey by the Moldovan State on a request from the Turkish President Erdogan. Now the 7 teachers are in a Turkish prison , without any trial. Even though they are innocent people and they have nothing to do with the politics.

The Moldovan Politicians   didn't respect the Human Rights and the Constitution of their own country .

Our Turkish teachers proved to be caring, with kind personalities, honest and in love with their work . They have educated generations of Moldovan students, who had success all over the world. They are more than just teachers for us. They are our family . They have offered us not only knowledge and support in everything we do, but love and humanity. They taught us about tolerance, peace, life, and freedom. They haven't been home, in Turkey, for years. They were missing it a lot. Because of the political situation in their country and the danger, they couldn't go back. Imagine now, after years, they are brought to Turkey with force in order to be tortured and be put in jail or even worse ... They come back to their country treated as animals and "terrorists", they do not deserve such a fate, such injustice. This is not how a teacher should be treated.

These are our requirements:  
1. Clear explanations regarding the reason for which our teachers were arrested and sent to Turkey, with the breach of almost all relevant protocols as well as international law.
2. Complete information and proof that these people are members of / have links with the terrorist organization, thus pose a threat to Moldova’s national security.
3. Complete information regarding the exact place in which the 7 people are now, as well their situation.
4. An immediate resign from the director of Moldovan Secret Services and all the people involved in this operation.
5. Public apologies from the Moldovan government addressed to the deported people, as well as to their families, who have suffered psychologically.
6. Massive reaction from the international society and institutions in which the government of the Republic of Moldova is publicly condemning for breaching international law.

Together with a group of students and teachers, we are protesting and signing petitions in order to help them as much as we can. Doing this in the Republic of Moldova is useless because the Government is not doing anything to solve it, or even hear us. This is why we need the support of the whole world, we need justice, we need a voice, we need to be heard ! Please help us. The lives of our teachers are in big danger, and we don't have much time...
They are teachers, not terrorists!
