Seyran Ateş (born 1963) is a German lawyer born in Istanbul, Turkey. She is of Kurdish descent.
Her views, highly critical of an immigrant Muslim society that is often more conservative than its counterpart in Turkey, have put her at risk.[1] In an interview in January 2008, Ateş stated that she is now in hiding and will not be working on Muslim women's behalf publicly (including in court) due to the threats against her. In one particular incident, she and her client were attacked by a woman's husband in a German courthouse in front of onlookers who did nothing. [2]
