Turkish NBA player Enes Kanter, a vocal critic of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, teamed up with two Democratic U.S. senators on Tuesday as they introduced a bill to condemn the alleged violation of human rights in Turkey. As Erdogan arrived in the United States for a White House meeting on Wednesday with U.S. President Donald Trump, Senators Edward Markey and Ron Wyden held up Kanter as a victim of the Turkish government’s targeting of political rivals.
Boston Celtic Enes Kanter joined Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on Capitol Hill Tuesday to help introduce Markey’s and Wyden’s new bill, the “Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act.” The press conference came before President Trump is supposed to host Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the White House Wednesday.
Kanter, who has been a longtime critic of Erdoğan, thanked Markey and Wyden for their leadership. “You guys know my story because I play in the NBA, but there are thousands and thousands of stories out there that are worse than mine,” the 27-year-old center said. “That’s why I’m trying to use my platform to be the voice of all those innocent people who don’t have one.”
