The United States’ ambassador to Turkey David Satterfield has served in Ankara for over 18 months now, but has remained generally silent on human rights. This pattern has persisted as the Turkish government continues its crackdown on protests and other forms of criticism against it in the last year.
Satterfield previously served as the acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near-Eastern Affairs and before that as the ambassador to Baghdad at the height of the Iraq War, in which the diplomat played an instrumental role during the Bush administration. He was later sent to serve in Rome where he spent the entire tenure of the Obama administration away from home.

The Department of State has designated Ashraf al-Qizani as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under section 1(a)(ii)(B) of Executive Order (E.O.) 13224.
Ashraf al-Qizani, also known as Abu ‘Ubaydah al-Kafi, serves as the emir of Jund al-Khilafah in Tunisia (JAK-T), an ISIS affiliate in Tunisia. Al-Qizani became the emir of JAK-T after the death of former JAK-T emir Yunus Abu-Muslim in 2019. Under al-Qizani’s leadership, JAK-T has carried out numerous attacks in Tunisia. Prior to his appointment as leader of JAK-T, al-Qizani had previously been a member of the Shura Council and served as a sergeant for each of the three companies in JAK-T.
