İmamoğlu reacts to espionage probe: “Even the devil wouldn’t think of this.” He calls the claims slander and politically motivated. “We won’t bow to lies.” #İmamoğlu #CasuslukSoruşturması #İstanbul #Türkiye #Ekremİmamoğlu

We welcome the release of Mehmet Türkmen who was released from house arrest today. His trial is delayed to 18 July. This is not just a case against Mehmet Turkmen but an attack on trade union rights and the right work and human dignity.
Genel Başkanımız Mehmet Türkmen’in bugün görülen duruşmasında ev hapsi kararı kaldırıldı! Dava 18 Temmuz tarihine ertelendi. Bu davada yargılanan sadece Mehmet Türkmen değil; işçilerin sendika hakkı, insanca çalışma talebi ve onurlu bir yaşam mücadelesidir. Bugünkü duruşmada
