What are the immediate consequences of Nimet Tanrıkulu's arrest for human rights advocacy in Turkey?

Nimet Tanrıkulu, a human rights defender in Turkey, was recently arrested and detained for four days, then released after questioning about her travels to Suleymaniyah and Erbil. This follows a pattern of persecution against human rights activists in Turkey, where they face numerous charges and threats for their work. The ongoing detention reflects the suppression of dissent and the shrinking space for civil society.
