>From a press release dated Februry 8, 1995: "In an effort to increaseaccess to 
human rights information, seven human rights monitoring
organizations have begun to centralize their material on the Internet. 
Amenesty International (AI), Committee to Protet Journalists (CPJ), 
Human Rights in China (HRIC), Human Rights Watch (HRW), Lawyers 
Committee for Human Rights, PEN, and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) 
have created a "Human Rights Gopher"--a series of menus simplifying
access to Internet resources and designed to provide up-to-date information 
for journalists, academics, health professionals, or anyone with access to 
the Internet."

The gopher address is: gopher.humanrights.org port 5000 
URL: gopher://gopher.humanrights.org:5000

Not all services listed in the gopher menus are currently available; but 
there are a number of press releases dealing with Turkey in the Amnesty 
International section.
