  "summary": "UN human rights experts have criticized Turkey's \"severe crackdown\" on LGBTQ organisations, stating that legitimate rights work is being unduly restricted. The experts, including the special rapporteurs on human rights defenders, the independence of judges, freedom of expression, and freedom of peaceful association, condemned the Turkish authorities' actions, which include raids on gay bars, nightclubs, and the homes of activists and community members. They called for an immediate end to the \"My Family is Safe\" operation and for the release of those detained solely for their legitimate human rights work.",
