The Boston Celtics center has not backed down in his fight against the Erdoğan regime: ‘Because I talk about democracy, human rights and freedom, the Turkish government calls me a terrorist’
Enes Kanter is no stranger to fighting for human rights.
On 31 May, the Boston Celtics center attended a Black Lives Matter protest, where he joined demonstrators in protesting the death of George Floyd. Floyd was killed after a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly eight minutes until he suffocated.
