Letter: The path to peace
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I am seriously concerned about your front page story " `The plane is going to Turkey,' said the official. `But don't tell the refugees. They might refuse to get on' " (report, 7 April).
Turkey is not a place where people do not want to go. Millions of European tourists visit Turkey every year. The refugees do not want to go to Turkey because their relatives are not in Turkey. They do not want to go to Turkey because they are separated from their families and they think that they might never see their relatives again.
You should have praised Turkey since it has accepted 20,000 refugees.
