Two Union Members Begin Hunger Strike to Protest Ill-Treatment in Prison: Turkey
Trade unionists Başaran Aksu and Doğukan Akan have begun a hunger strike to protest the ill-treatment they are suffering in detention and to express their solidarity with the Doruk miners’ resistance. According to a union statement, Aksu was deprived of drinking water for 48 hours upon his arrival in prison and faced serious hygiene problems, while Akan has been subjected to restrictions. Held in a T-type prison in Süleymanlı (Akhisar), the two men denounce the lack of response to their appeals and assert that their situation is part of a broader crackdown on labor activism.
