Teacher Union Solidarity Helps to Free Turkish Teachers
An Earlier Demonstration by Egitim Sen
A large delegation of teacher trade unionists attended the court hearing which led to the freeing of the remaining members of public service unions still imprisoned in Turkey
Many people sent messages of support and protest through thhis website when the trade unionists were first imprisoned (see previous posts). Education International organised a campaign of international solidarity including the attendance in court by leading trade unionists and their full report can be read on http://www.ei-ie.org/en/news/show.php?id=1137&theme=rights&country=turkey Teachersolidarity would like to send its congratulations to our Turkish colleagues in Egitim Sen for their fortitude in the face of these vicious attacks and to all those who joined in the effort to free them.
