ANKARA - Police attacked the people gathering for “We want our jobs back” action to make a statement and detained five people.

 

“We want our jobs back” action initiated by dismissed academic Nuriye Gülmen in front of the Human Rights Monument on Yüksel Avenue carried out by dismissed public laborers has been on its 460th day.

 

Protesters gathering on Ankara’s Konur Street wanted to make a statement in front of the Human Rights Monument blockaded by riot police and armored vehicles. Police didn’t allow the protesters to go to in front of the monument. The protesters therefore unfurled a banner reading, “460th day of our resistance, we want our jobs back”.

 

Police attacked the protesters and forcibly detained Acun Karadağ, Alev Şahin, Mehmet Dersulu, Nazan Bozkurt and Gülnaz Bozkurt.
