SF Solidarity For Turkey Teachers Nuriye Gülmen & Semih Özakça On Hunger Strike in Ankara
In Turkey, Nuriye Gülmen, a professor of literature, and Semih Özakça, a primary school teacher, have been on strike for more than 10 weeks after losing their jobs following the failed coup against the president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, last July. Over 100,000 public workers have been fired and dismissed from their jobs without any legal process.
A solidarity rally was held in San Francisco on May 21, 2017 at Powell and Market to support their hunger strike and demand the immediate re-instatement of all fired teachers, journalists and public workers, an end to the repression and privatization of education and other public services. They were arrested by the police on Monday May 22, 2017.
