said board member of the DİSK BASIN-İŞ, the "Press, Publishing and Printing Workers Union" part of the "Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions" (DİSK) of Turkey.Yes, of course.

"Women, queers want peace"Ankara anti-coup protest continues.
For context, people are imprisoned in Turkey for calling for peace. For example many were fired by presidential decree and/or imprisoned for signing a publicly published statement asking for peace, to end Turkey's wars.
Furthermore, during the previous elections the primary electioneering of the dictatorship party (AKP) has been hate-speech against LGBTQ* people and against refugees, with an election promise in the latest presidential election for example to deport all Syrian refugees. -
