Forestry workers challenge mining company - and need our support r1 ... The people of the Cerattepe region in Turkey are fighting to stop their land from being destroyed by a mining company that wants to cut down the forests and pollute the water in order to mine gold, silver and copper.

In February, protests took place against the mining plans of the company, Cengiz Holding. Demonstrators were beaten by police, and authorities are threatening union members at the local forestry directorate who joined the protests. Those workers have been told they will be transferred to other regions of the country if they don't give up.

The forestry workers union has now turned to us with an urgent request for help. Join our action to demand an immediate stop to the mining plans and the harassment of union members:
