Turkey: outline on trade union rights situation
In the past two years there have been a series of high profile cases involving the policing of labour disputes and the criminal prosecution of trade unionists. Some of those arrested have complained of poor treatment. Others have been held in detention for long periods before their cases are heard (or dismissed). Cases have regularly been classed as ‘confidential’, so the defence lawyers have no access to their clients’ files, sometimes for more than one month.
