Enes Kanter is an international sports star. The center for the Boston Celtics in the NBA, he is known wherever basketball is discussed. He is also in 24-hour protection from the FBI. The reason? His frequent criticism of the human rights situation in his native Turkey, where tens-of-thousands of people have been arbitrarily arrested, detained, and tortured. Kanter joins Crime Waves to discuss his journey to becoming an athlete with a conscience — and the price he and his family have paid as a result.
