Protest the Taksim Square crackdown

Write to Turkey's ruler pleading for freedom of assembly.

from Labourstart

The brutal crackdown on protests at the end of May in Istanbul's Taksim Square has shocked the entire world — and triggered a massive wave of protests across Turkey.

A coalition of organizations including trade unions has issued demands which trade unionists everywhere will support.

These include:

• free all those arrested;

• drop all charges against them;

• hold accountable those responsible for the police violence;

• and lift all bans on meetings and demonstrations.

Prime Minister Erdogan

I support the demands of trade unionists and others in Turkey  that police violence against protestors must stop, that those responsible must be held accountable, that those who have been arrested must be freed and charges dropped, and that the ban on demonstrations must be lifted.

Yours truly,
