Türkiye: Freedom for Ismet Aslan, detained trade unionist
 | In partnership with KESK, the Confederation of Public Employees Trade Unions in Türkiye. It is one of the largest trade union centres in Türkiye and is affiliated with ITUC and ETUC. |
Ismet Aslan, an officer of the Confederation of Public Employees Trade Unions (KESK), was arrested by security forces on 7 October 2024. He has been held in the Silivri Prison ever since. The public prosecutor imposed a decision of confidentality on the case file, and as a result, there is no detailed information about the accusation. Aslan has been working as the collective bargaining agreement and legal affairs officer of KESK for about 20 years. He suffers from a type of skin cancer that requires continuous medical treatment. We call on you to take the initiative for İsmet Aslan’s freedom. By sending a letter to the Ministry of Justice, you can ask the Ministry of Justice to release the trade unionist, İsmet Aslan.
