ANKARA - Three people have been detained on the 416th day of “We want our jobs back” action held on Yüksel Avenue, Ankara.

 

The hunger strike launched by educators Nuriye Gülmen and Semih Özakça has continued for 296 days while the “We want our jobs back” action has continued despite the attacks of police in its 416th day. Police didn’t allow the protesters to make a statement in front of Human Rights Monument located on Ankara's Yüksel Avenue. The protesters thereupon gathered in Konur Street and unfurled a banner reading, “296th day of Hunger Strike, Nuriye and Semih should be reinstated”. Then, protesters shouted slogans of “Nuriye and Semih are our honor”.

 

Police attacked and battered them and detained Nazan Bozkurt, Simge Aksan, and İlker Işık.
