[IRPCoalition] DAY 0 at IGF2014 - Human Rights Denied-Turkish Customs blocking

[Caitlin Miles]

Was insurance taken out on the shipments? I lived in Turkey for 4 years and
when something is shipped, depending on how much the value is estimated at,
it is held up in customs in the Topkapi/Cevizlibag districts. Typically as
soon as you go to the customs office and pay the 'tax' on it, you are free
to take your package. However, 2000TL seems quite steep! I have never heard
anything more than 100TL!
