Turkish woman trade unionist
The Turkish government has jailed a woman trade unionist, Meryem Özsögüt, and has kept her in detention for nearly six months.
The Turkish government has jailed a woman trade unionist, Meryem Özsögüt, and has kept her in detention for nearly six months.
Meryem is a leader of the public sector union SES, and we’ve been asked by Public Services International (PSI) to launch a big online campaign demanding her release.
For more details and to add your signature, please click here now.
This campaign will not take off, and we will not secure Meryem’s release, unless we can mobilize thousands of our members around the world.
Please do what you can to help this campaign go viral—forward it to your email lists, post information on your union websites, pass out flyers at events, use new tools like Twitter, Facebook and blogs to spread the word.
Meryem needs our help. I know that I can count on all of you.
